WELCOME
to the Education Fair Sunshine Coast 2025, and thank you for visiting today!
Now in its third year, it’s incredible to see how this spark of an idea has grown into such a trusted event.
Why go to all this effort to bring an expo like this to life? Because we know that choosing an education pathway is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make as a parent. It can shape your child’s friendships (and yours!), their interests, achievements, and — most importantly — their happiness. It might even influence where you choose to live!
From school selection to sports, tutoring to uncovering passions, every decision contributes to your child’s future.
Eeek — no pressure, right?
That’s why we created an annual event to save busy parents a bit of sanity — bringing together a wide range of education options
under one roof, in one fun-filled day. A place where kids can try out sports and workshops, enjoy demos and shows, and parents can chat with leading education providers, compare options, and explore what’s on offer.
Best of all? Entry is free, the activities are free, the coffee is good, and the whole family is catered for.
We hope today helps you discover the perfect learning journey for your child, and sparks an excitement for learning in every kid who walks through our doors.
Have a fantastic day, and remember to give us a follow on socials (@educationfairQLD).
We’re a small, mum-owned-and-operated business, so your visit and support truly means the world to us.

Brisbane Catholic Education
AN EDUCATION TO BELIEVE IN MEET THE EVENT PARTNER
What makes a Brisbane Catholic Education (BCE) School special?
It’s everything from the school charism - the spiritual guiding principle that shapes the school’s identity, along with our expert teachers backed by a system of professional learning and cutting-edge research.
When you walk through the gates of a BCE school, you instantly feel a sense of belonging. Our 146 schools across South East Queensland — including 11 right here on the Sunshine Coast — are vibrant communities where everyone is welcome.
While each of our schools reflects the character of its local community, they all share a common commitment to academic excellence and a welcoming environment for every student and their family.
A PLACE WHERE STUDENTS CAN FLOURISH
At a BCE school, relationships are based on mutual respect and understanding.
Our teachers take the time to learn about each student in their classroom, not just academically, but the whole student.
The safety of students is at the centre of how we plan, think, and act, and we strive to create a school environment where our students feel included and valued.
At BCE, we believe our students know their world best. By providing opportunities for them to share their diverse voices, we empower them to shape our schools and reach their full potential.
We know our students learn more effectively when they feel heard, valued, and have a sense of belonging. Our schools embed student voice across all aspects of school life.
“We talk like a family. It’s not just a place where we come to learn and then go home. Teachers value your opinion and your voice matters”—
WE TALK LIKE A FAMILY. IT’S NOT JUST A PLACE WHERE WE COME TO LEARN AND THEN GO HOME. TEACHERS VALUE YOUR OPINION AND YOUR VOICE MATTERS.
Connor, BCE Year 7 student.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENT LEARNING AND GROWTH
We support our students in achieving their full potential. With a range of opportunities across the arts, sports, and STEM, BCE encourages students to nurture their gifts and talents and make a difference in the world.
Each BCE school embraces a distinct charism that helps shape and reflect the values lived out in its community each day.
Our shared Catholic values allow students to see themselves as part of a community and contribute to the greater good of society.
Your child’s education will not be measured by tests and scores alone, but by how they are creating a life of purpose, kindness, honesty, and compassion.
“It’s very much a holistic approach, they don’t just care about the academics—as much
as academics are fundamental—but it really is around that character formation, helping [our daughter] on her journey as she grows in confidence”—Matt Whittaker—BCE parent.
CHOOSING A BCE SCHOOL
When you enrol at a BCE school, you become part of something bigger—the Brisbane Catholic Education community. This community is a network of outstanding educators who focus on the social, emotional, physical, spiritual, and academic outcomes for every one of our students. At Brisbane Catholic Education, we provide an education to believe in. Visit BCESchools.com to enrol at a BCE school near you.

Grammar Early Learning
Inspiring Young Minds FROM THE VERY BEGINNING
Established in 2006, Grammar Early Learning Centre has become a trusted name in early childhood education on the Sunshine Coast. Located onsite at Sunshine Coast Grammar School, the centre offers quality care and education for children from six weeks to school age. Surrounded by a breathtaking 100-acre natural rainforest playground, Grammar Early Learning provides a safe, nurturing and inspiring environment where children can learn, grow and thrive.
Grammar Early Learning Centre is an approved long day care service, with a strong focus on providing exceptional early learning experiences and supporting families every step of the way. The centre operates a dedicated Nursery Wing and Kindy Wing, catering to the individual needs of babies, toddlers and preschool-aged children. A Queensland Government-approved Kindergarten Program is delivered by Bachelor-qualified early childhood teachers.
Children at Grammar Early Learning are immersed in a rich tapestry of programs that support their social, emotional, cognitive and physical development. From literacy and numeracy to music and sport, the centre offers a broad range of enrichment activities. Regular excursions and library visits to Sunshine Coast Grammar School, as well as access to the school’s chapel and specialist teachers, further enhance the learning experience.
For the youngest learners, the Nursery team creates a gentle, nurturing space that feels like
an extension of home. Feeding, play and rest times are tailored to each child, with a focus on sensory exploration, physical development and early language skills. As children grow, they’re encouraged to explore independently, develop friendships and build self-confidence through interactive play and flexible routines.
Every classroom is thoughtfully designed with interest areas that support imaginative play, construction, art and craft, and music and movement. These carefully curated environments encourage children to be curious, creative and confident learners. Highly trained educators work closely with each child to ensure their individual needs and interests are supported. The centre also provides fresh, nutritious gourmet lunches daily, as well as nappies for younger children, making life easier for busy families.
One of the highlights of the program is
Rainforest Kindy, an outdoor initiative that blends nature play with hands-on learning. Children explore the surrounding rainforest environment, fostering a deep connection with nature, a sense of adventure, and a growing understanding of sustainability.
At Grammar Early Learning Centre, the goal is simple—create a positive and enriching start to each child’s educational journey. With its warm, welcoming environment and dedication to quality care, it’s no surprise Grammar Early Learning is a leading choice for families across the region.

WHY PUZZLING IS THE PIECE BY PIECE
PERFECT FIT FOR KIDS
In a world filled with digital distractions, there’s something delightfully refreshing about the simple joy of a jigsaw puzzle. But beyond just being fun, puzzles offer an incredible range of benefits for young minds—and thanks to the Interschool Puzzle Club, more kids than ever are discovering the power of puzzling together.
Launching officially in schools across Australia from the 2025 school year, the Interschool Puzzle Club is the country’s most inclusive school club, offering students a chance to puzzle for fun or compete nationally. Whether it’s run in a classroom, at lunch, or after school, Puzzle Club is designed to fit any school’s needs — and it’s already making big connections between students and schools nationwide.
“We’ve seen students come alive through puzzling,” says D'Arne Healy from Interschool Puzzle Club. “They build confidence, collaborate better, and find a space to truly belong.”
Each participating school receives a comprehensive puzzle pack to help launch and run the club for an entire year. These thoughtfully curated packs include speed and mixed puzzles, crafts, games, and practice activities. Each club works in teams of four, encouraging collaboration, communication, and problem-solving.
A particularly clever addition is the inclusion of identical “race” puzzles across all schools. This allows for consistent timing and fair comparisons between teams, whether they’re across town or across the country. And for those with a competitive streak, there’s even a pathway to State and National puzzle competitions.
But puzzling isn’t just for traditional classrooms. The club has expanded to include a dedicated Homeschool Puzzle Club, with its own resources, digital timers, and community connection options, so no puzzler misses out.
Importantly, the club isn’t only about racing or competition. Schools are
WHY PUZZLES ARE GREAT FOR KIDS
Boosts brain power: Improves memory, concentration, and problem-solving skills. Encourages teamwork: Kids collaborate, communicate and solve problems together.
Builds resilience: Sticking with a puzzle teaches perseverance and patience.
Supports mental health: Calming and mindful, puzzling is great for stress relief. Inclusive for all: Suitable for all ages and abilities—everyone can join in and succeed.
encouraged to run their Puzzle Club their way — whether that means focusing on relaxation and mindfulness, cognitive skill-building, or simply giving students a reason to laugh and connect.
“There’s a real magic when kids sit down together and start puzzling. You can see their confidence build. They start talking, problem-solving together, and celebrating every piece that clicks into place.”
With Ravensburger as their official puzzle partner, schools can be assured of quality materials that will last and challenge students in the best ways. And with inclusivity at the heart of the program, every child, regardless of age or ability, is welcomed into the world of puzzling.

TOP TIPS
HOW TO BUILD A positive relationship with your child’s teacher
Building a positive relationship with your child’s teacher is one of the most important steps you can take to support their educational journey. Children thrive academically, socially, and emotionally when parents and teachers work together with mutual respect and open communication. Creating this connection early in a child’s academic journey sets a strong foundation for future collaboration.
PRACTICAL TIPS FOR BUILDING STRONG PARENT-TEACHER RELATIONSHIPS
Here are some actionable ways to foster a positive relationship with your child’s teacher:
• Make a positive first impression: Introduce yourself early and establish open lines of communication. A warm, respectful approach sets the tone for future interactions.
• Show interest in learning: Regularly ask your child about what they’re learning and
share that curiosity with their teacher. It demonstrates that education is valued at home.
• Express appreciation: Acknowledge when a teacher’s efforts positively impact your child. A simple thank-you note or kind comment can go a long way.
• Share relevant information: Keep teachers informed about your child’s interests or challenges outside of school. This context can help them better support your child in the classroom.
• Participate actively: Attend school events and accept invitations to engage in classroom activities. Teachers appreciate when parents share their unique skills and experiences—whether it’s discussing a profession, sharing cultural insights, or offering real-life examples for lessons.
• Be a problem-solving partner: If challenges arise, approach the teacher as a teammate rather than a critic. Ask for their perspective and work together on solutions. Collaboration shows your child that the
adults in their life are united.
• Maintain ongoing communication: Don’t wait for formal reports. A quick check-in via email or at school pick-up can help you stay informed and show the teacher that you’re involved and supportive.
THE SCHOOL’S ROLE IN FOSTERING PARTNERSHIPS
Great schools understand the value of nurturing relationships with parents. Many host events to connect families and teachers in informal settings, like welcome days or parent-teacher evenings.
WHY MEETING IN PERSON MATTERS
In today’s tech-driven world, genuine relationship-building can be challenging. Text messages and social media often replace face-to-face conversations. However, when it comes to your child’s education, nothing beats meeting teachers and school representatives in person.
