GOVERNMENT UPDATE BUILDING SAVVY SHOPPERS The Queensland Government is helping school students make smart and informed choices when shopping with the launch of the 2026 Buy Smart competition, giving them the chance to build stronger financial skills and better understand consumer rights.

The competition, run by the Office of Fair Trading, offers $15,000 in prize money for students and schools, and is now open to Queenslanders in Years 4 to 12 to enter.

Each year, thousands of young students take part in the program, getting creative with projects that explain and address a consumer issue.

The Lions Club Wheelbarrow Derby Nambour, 1965

The Buy Smart competition is open to all state and private schools in Queensland. Students can enter individually or in groups of up to four.

Entries will close on 18 Sept 2026.

COUNCIL INFO Masterclass series ready to inspire future leaders The 2026 Mayor’s Telstra Innovation Masterclass Series is now open, and Sunshine Coast schools are invited to submit expressions of interest for students in Years 8 to 10.

This year’s Masterclass will once again be led by Lachie Smart — world record setting pilot, acclaimed youth leadership speaker and Chief Operating Officer of The End Game.

At just 18, Lachie became the youngest person ever to fly solo around the world in a single engine aircraft, an achievement that continues to inspire young people globally.

Lachie has designed the Future Entrepreneurial Leaders Masterclass specifically for Sunshine Coast students, and will guide them in identifying their strengths, building confidence and creating a vision for their future.

The Masterclass Series is open to Sunshine Coast students in Years 8 to 10.

EOI closes: 16 March 2026 Successful applicants notified: 18 March 2026 Places are limited and participation is by Expression of Interest (EOI).

Educators, students, parents and carers can register interest online.
