Graham Hyman, Co-ordinator - Chaplaincy Services
Thanks to the generosity of Somerset families, over 250 other Gold Coast families will have an unexpectedly brighter Christmas this year. A few weeks ago, the Christmas tree in reception began to sprout a small collection of bags of groceries, decorations and toys at its feet.
The collection has now grown to a flood that threatens to overtake all the floor space!
The bags will be collected by Wesley Mission today for distribution to needy families in time for Christmas.
Thank you Somerset for this very tangible expression of goodwill, and for all the other ways your spirit of generosity has prompted you to share gifts of time and substance this Christmas season.

As Service Captains, we will continue to encourage our students to look towards the interests of others even during these uncertain times. As a College community, we strive to become more caring members of our society.
Following the last school day of 2020, the fifth Barambah (B5) trip to the South Burnett set off for another chapter in our developing and blossoming relationship with the people of the region. In many ways, it is hard to believe that close to 100 students and six staff have been a part of this Service Learning initiative since its inception just a few years ago.
