Showcase Award For Excellence |
 We are proud that our highly successful League for Life program received the Showcase Award for Excellence in Community Partnerships at this year's State Education gala dinner. Aimed to inspire Year 8 to 10 students, particularly the disengaged or underachieving, the League for Life program combines curriculum and life skills with the motivational power of sport. The program links with a range of community organisations including the Gold Coast Titans rugby league club, Griffith University, the Salvation Army and Queenslanders in the Community charity. Attendance and retention rates for these students have improved alongside academic results, better health and fitness, and targeted post-school pathways. Great achievement for all involved! |
