Dear Parents and Carers,

I am delighted to share some fantastic news and updates from across our school community.

Firstly, we are incredibly proud to announce that Yeronga State High School has been named the National Winner for Student Voice by the Australian Council for Student Voice. This is a wonderful recognition of our ongoing commitment to genuinely listening to and acting on student perspectives. Our students are at the heart of everything we do, and this award reflects the strength of their voices and the inclusive culture we foster at Yeronga SHS.

A huge thank you and congratulations go to the nine Yeronga teams who took on and completed the Kokoda Challenge this year. This was a fantastic addition to our extracurricular calendar and a testament to our staff and students’ resilience, teamwork and dedication.

It’s also great to see such strong interest in our upcoming trips. Our 2026 Ski Trip has already reached full capacity, and we are now counting down the weeks until our Study Tour to Japan, which takes place in Week 10 of this term. These experiences provide our students with valuable opportunities to explore the world and grow as global citizens.

As we enter the middle of term, students are also approaching a busy assessment period. We encourage all students to stay focused, manage their time well, and reach out for support when needed.

Congratulations to all students who participated in our recent Athletics Carnival – it was a fantastic day of school spirit and healthy competition. A special congratulations to Avoca for taking out the win!

Finally, a reminder as the weather cools that students are expected to wear the approved Yeronga SHS winter uniform. Please ensure your child is wearing the correct uniform items each day – this helps maintain a sense of pride and belonging in our school.

Thank you for your continued support.
