Our robotics team are on their way to the world stage! 🤖 🌎

We’re incredibly proud of our robotics team, the Iron Lions, who have earned an invitation to represent Australia at the FIRST Tech Challenge World Championships in Houston, Texas next month.

The team is made up of three current students and two recent 2025 Grammar graduates, and we can't wait to see their robot in action!

Their achievement follows an outstanding performance at the National Championships in Sydney, which is a testament to their innovation and teamwork.

Head of Digital Innovation, Mr Justin Pembroke and Head of Extended Learning, Mrs Brenda Gahan, have played a pivotal role in guiding the teams throughout the season and will accompany the team on the trip.

This morning, we proudly welcomed our 2025 scholars to our annual Scholars' Assembly and celebrated their exceptional academic achievements 🎓🌟

Sunshine Coast Grammar School students once again achieved remarkable results, firmly establishing our standing among the top schools in the state. The dedication and perseverance of all students have paid off, with many now pursuing their passions in fields such as medicine, law and science.

We were proud to celebrate our scholars who received Top of Subject Awards, Academic Distinctions, QCAA Academic and Achievement Commendations.

A special congratulations to all 2025 award recipients, including:

🏆 School Dux - Nicholas Heeks
🏆 Sportsman of the Year - Jude Brimelow, Adrian de Klerk, Rohan Nichol
🏆 Sportswoman of the Year - Grace Brimelow, Addison Houslip
🌟 Rembrandt Scholarship - Rowan Farrelly
🐴 Academic Shield - Chisholm Chargers

Thank you to our School Dux, Nicholas Heeks for his inspiring Scholars' Address. Nicholas reflected on his time at Grammar and encouraged the graduates and current students to accept all opportunities.

💬 'To the students here today, my message is the same: Be in the arena. This means making a conscious decision to prioritise courage over comfort. The moment you step across that line you invite two possibilities: the thrill of victory and the bruising sting of defeat.'

Congratulations Class of 2025! We are excited to watch you embark on your new journey and look forward to welcoming you back through the Grammar Gates as proud Sunshine Coast Grammar School Alumni.

Congratulations to our past student Tiarnee Massie (Class of 2018) on an extraordinary weekend of racing in the Shaw and Partners Iron Series.

🏆 On Saturday, Tiarnee claimed her first ever Iron Series race win and yesterday she went one better, taking out the overall 2025/26 Series title. An incredible achievement built on years of dedication and hard work.

Congratulations Tiarnee! You're a true role model for our student athletes.

It doesn't get much better than this 🙌
On Saturday, Tiarnee won her first ever Shaw and Partners Iron Series race… and yesterday she topped it off by taking out the overall title! 🏆

Tiarnee Massie is your 2025/26 Shaw and Partners Iron Series Champion!

Maroochydore SLSC couldn’t be prouder of the dedication and hard work you bring to training and racing. Backed every step of the way by an incredible support network of family, friends and club members💙

A true role model and inspiration to so many.

We hope you soaked up every second of the celebrations — long may they continue! 👏🔥🏆

As we prepare to welcome students back next week, we are proud to look back on the results of our 2025 graduating class, including Nicholas Heeks, who earned a perfect 99.95 ATAR.

This week, his achievement has also been featured in My Weekly Preview and we are proud to see his achievements further recognised across the region.

Nicholas’s dedication, curiosity and love of problem solving saw him awarded the prestigious QCAA Certificate of Academic Commendation, placing him among Queensland’s top academic performers.

He now begins an exciting new chapter, heading to Macquarie University to study Actuarial Studies. His pathway was inspired by his passion for mathematics, economics and understanding how the world works.

🎓 We are looking forward to celebrating the academic achievements of our 2025 graduating class at our annual Scholars' Assembly on Friday, 6 February.
