YEAR 9 HUMANITIES | Last week, our Year 9 Geography classes put on their boots and their Akubra hats to investigate food production and food security challenges at two local farms in the Glasshouse Mountains region.
The students learnt about the stages of crop production and distribution from Farmer Sam from Sandy Creek Pineapple Company and Farmer Norm, who owns a mixed crop farm. They also learnt about the challenges these farmers face each year when it comes to growing and caring for their crops. As an added bonus, the students rolled up their sleeves and got to work picking pineapples and lychees.
A huge thanks to Farmer Sam and Farmer Norm, who not only gave generously of their time but also let our students walk away with a pineapple or two to take home to their families. ... See MoreSee Less
NCC SWIMMING CARNIVALS | During Week 3, the Junior, Middle, and Senior School Swimming Carnivals were a great success with wonderful participation from our students. A highlight of the Senior School carnival included a special visitor, Olympian Louise Hansson from Sweden, who gave our students (and even some teachers) the opportunity of a lifetime to race her! Naturally, she won, but some of our swimmers were impressively not too far behind!
The Year 12 synchronised swimming event was a colourful display of wonderful costumes and fantastic manoeuvres and the winner on the day was Judah.

BRISBANE LIONS AFL PREMIERSHIP TROPHY VISIT | Last week, our school enjoyed a very special and unexpected highlight — a visit from the Brisbane Lions AFL Premiership Trophy.
Across the morning, classes came through to view the trophy, take photos, and share in the excitement of having such an iconic piece of sporting history at our school. The students were full of smiles, asking great questions and relishing the chance to celebrate the achievements of our local AFL heroes.
It was wonderful to see our NCC community come together for this memorable moment. A big thank‑you to AFL Coach, Reiley for making this special visit possible. ... See MoreSee Less
