In Term 3 this year, seven outstanding Year 10 students, under the guidance of their law teacher, Ms Comegna, participated in the 30th Queensland Schools Constitutional Convention.
This online convention brought together more than 400 students from Queensland’s state, Catholic, and independent schools to explore the following constitutional topic:
Revisiting Section 124 to Reimagine State Formation in Australia: Should the Constitution allow for flexible state boundaries to better serve regional communities and governance? Throughout the day, students heard from prominent keynote speakers, engaged in small-group breakout sessions, and presented their findings in collaborative forums.
As part of the convention, schools were invited to nominate one student to present a 2–3minute multimodal speech on the constitutional issue. The Humanities faculty was thrilled to have three students express interest, and after a careful internal selection process, Abby was chosen as our school’s representative.
We’re proud to share that during yesterday’s convention, it was announced that Abby has been selected as one of 15 students to represent Queensland at the National Schools Constitutional Convention in Canberra in March 2026. This is an outstanding achievement, and Abby will attend the event on an all-expenses-paid trip, representing both our school and the state at this flagship event of the Australian Government's Civics and Citizenship Education program.
Congratulations to Abby and all participating students for representing our school with excellence and curiosity! .png)
