As the 2025 school year draws to a close, I would like to congratulate all the year 12 students who have completed their high school journey. I wish each of you the very best for your exciting new chapters. It was an honour to join our local schools in celebrating the year's achievements and to present my Future Leaders Award to acknowledge an outstanding year 12 student from each school. These young leaders demonstrate initiative, integrity and a genuine commitment to making a difference. I'd like to place on record the recipients so far: Alasdair McCall from Hillcrest Christian College; Georgiana Georghiou from Silkwood School; Lyric Wilkinson and Sophie Spaull from Mudgeeraba Special School; Ella Henderson from Hillcrest Christian College virtual learning; Isaac Elmore, Palm Beach-Currumbin State High School; Claire Robertson, Robina State High School; Talissa Bellette, Elanora State High School; William Davis, Varsity College; Ayla Geralds, Somerset College; Saskia Birner, All Saints Anglican School; Jackson Fietz, Arcadia College; Sophie Fraser, Gold Coast Christian College; Ava Le Cornu, the BUSY School; Heath McLachlan, St Andrews Lutheran College; and Isabella Anderson from the Industry School

For our primary- and middle-school students, I was very pleased to present my Spirit and Service Award, recognising one young person from each school who looks out for others. I congratulate each and every one of those students.

To every student across the southern Gold Coast: congratulations and well done.
