 The bush certainly hides some stunning secrets! But sometimes you're lucky to be in the right spot at the right time which was the case for one of our international students. The Year 12 Recreational students were hiking on South Stradbroke Island recently. On Friday the students hiked into Couran Cove where the staff there run the students through a bike treasure hunt. It was whilst riding her bike that the student heard a sound in the bush near her and turned to see a python crushing a wallaby that was still alive and kicking at this stage. The student quickly got her camera out and photographed what transpired right through until the phython finished consuming the wallaby. Everyone present admits it was certainly one of the most amazing experiences ever had. |

2008 Sports Awards Dinner |
 300 students, staff and parents assembled at Robina Community Centre for our gala Sports Awards Dinner. What a great night! Blair Tonkin and Paul Bullpitt were once again our very entertaining hosts. Mr Tonkin took the opportunity to teach a few brave souls some of his silver medal winning linedancing moves. Mr Bullpitt was disappointed that no one from the Firebirds turned up (because he was all decked out in his netball skirt and ready to go!). Beck McDonnell and Gene Hei Hei provided the audience with some great music. Our canteen ladies did an awesome job with the catering (and thanks to the students who waited on tables). The two special guests shared an insight into their sporting lives: Shane Harris, World Beach Flags Champion; and Bryce Lindores, Beijing Paralympian (blind) and bronze medalist in cycling. Congratulations to Junior All Rounders, Maya Sidhu and Jesse Kerrison; Senior All Rounders, Jaiden Macknamara and Matt Harris. Our 2008 Sportswoman of the Year is Skye Sowden, and Sportsman of the Year is Jesse Kerrison. Congratulations to everyone who has been part of our sporting program at Robina SHS this year. |

Robina SHS Supports Blood Bank |
 Many thanks to the students and staff who visited the Blood Bank. Nurse Helen Dredge, who organised for the van to be placed in our school grounds for the day, said she, along with the Blood Bank staff, were amazed by the response of our school community. By the end of the day over 40 bags of blood had been collected. Many of the donors were there for the first time. One of our Year 11 students said, "I was feeling nervous seeing it was my first time, but now I have a really rewarding feeling". Knowing that their blood donation can be used to save up to 3 lives is enough encouragement to keep donating in the future. |

 In October 2009 Robina High welcomed 148 guests from Kumon Kokusai High School, Japan. Kumon Kokusai has had 15 visits to the Gold Coast but never enjoyed an integrated homestay - school program. This is the largest homestay study tour that has ever been hosted in Queensland and represents the wonderful value our school community places on building international understandings for our students.
The 138 students and 10 teachers enjoyed six days with our host families and an interesting school program which included making anzac biscuits with Hospitality Students, learning about Forensic Science with Mr Wood, playing sports with PE classes and teaching Robina High Students about Japanese culture and language. |

Qld Futsal Premier League Champions |
 Our five Futsal teams have been successful in taking out the Qld Secondary School Futsal Premier League for 2008. Schools from the Sunshine Coast to the Gold Coast have been competing in this competition since the first round in February. There were 5 age groups involved in this competition playing a total of 20 matches. Our teams that competed were the 14 years girls, 16 years girls, open girls, 16 years boys and the open boys. Each team competed in a tournament with the points from all tournaments accumulated for the overall premier league champion school. To win this competition means your school has a very good program and not just one good team. It takes all 5 teams to win the overall title. From our 20 matches we had 15 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. Robina finished the competition with 49 points with our closest rival on 37. An impressive result! |
