Headmaster’s Notes Continued... AIC Swimming What a brilliant day!! The team was inspiring as was the cheering from Years 11 and 12.

The Next Step survey is a brief, confidential survey that gains a comprehensive picture of the employment, study and life choices made by Queensland school leavers in the year after they finish Year 12. Between March and June, all students who completed Year 12 last year can expect to receive instructions to complete a webbased survey or a telephone call from the Government Statistician to complete the survey. Please encourage them to take part. If their contact details have changed, please assist the interviewer with their updated details of forward the survey to their new address so they can participate.
