Schoolies here to party By Margaret Maccoll About 5000 school leavers descended on Noosa over the weekend for their end of school celebrations and while emergency services prepared for any consequence the teens have proved to be reasonably well behaved. Though the dumping of rubbish on Main Beach Saturday night led to it being shut and Nippers cancelled on Sunday morning while a clean up of rubbish and broken glass was completed. Mayor Clare Stewart said about 20 additional bins had since been sited at the beach for rubbish. “It is important that any visitors to our region respect the environment that we all hold so dear. It has been disappointing to see litter and glass left on the beach but I commend council staff and Queensland police for all their hard work in ensuring the beach is back to its pristine state as soon as possible,” she said.
Schools out forever.

Genial George By Phil Jarratt We introduce our Noosa Today Citizen of the Year campaign this issue with a double whammy for hardworking and creative George Gleeson, who has just completed Year 12 at Good Shepherd Lutheran College. Both Mayor Clare Stewart and Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie independently nominated George in the Young Citizen of the Year (under
25) category for his work in leading a student team at Peregian Digital Hub in 3D printing 1000 face masks to be used by frontline health care workers at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. When contacted by Noosa Today this week, George was watching the sun set on Moreton Island during a schoolies’ break. “This is just awesome,” he said. We’re not sure if he meant the nomination or the sunset. Maybe both.
Noosa Today is looking for nominations for both Citizen and Young Citizen of the Year of people who in this difficult year have shown true community values, either generally or in their specific field of work, sport or passion. These might be drawn from the fields of the arts, sport, education, health, charity, business, tourism, Indigenous affairs, the environment, aged care, government, or somewhere else we haven’t thought of.
We are looking for two people - one just starting out in life, one with considerable life experience - who have exhibited a generosity of spirit and/or inspired others with their commitment to excellence. We are asking for nominations from you, our readers, and from a panel of community leaders. For more details and other nominations see our main article on page 3.
