Year 9 Students, Parents & Carers – Don’t Forget!

This Thursday 10 September, Sessions 1 & 2 is a Careers Morning, dedicated to setting the students up for their future possibilities to guide them in to their subject selections for year 10.

Following this, the last two days of term, Year 9 students do not attend school. Instead, students and parents come along to their designated JET (Junior Education Transition) Meeting time to talk through and select their Year 10 subjects.

🎓 2026 SENIOR FORMAL – PARENT FAQ 🎓
With the Year 12 Senior Formal fast approaching, we know parents and carers may have a few questions about how the evening will work. Please see below for some important information.

📸 FORMAL ARRIVALS – WHAT CAN PARENTS DO?
What time do arrivals start?
Student arrivals will commence from 5:00pm.
Can parents/carers watch the arrivals?
Yes! Everyone is welcome to watch students arrive from the grandstands behind Brothers Club.
Can parents/carers attend the arrivals area?
Only paid guests can enter the pre-dinner arrivals area on the grassed area behind Brothers Club.
Can parents/carers see the formal room?
Yes. Parents/carers will be invited to take a peek inside the formal room from approximately 6:45pm. Guests will then be asked to leave before students head upstairs for dinner at 7:00pm.

⏰ WHEN WILL MY CHILD ARRIVE?
Individual student arrival times will be published on Monday, 7 September.
The arrival list will be displayed on the noticeboard outside the Senior Hub.

🎟️ DO I NEED TO BRING A PHYSICAL TICKET?
No! There are no physical tickets for the Formal.
If you have purchased a pre-dinner guest ticket, your name will be on the guest list at the door at the rear of Brothers Club. Simply check in with staff when you arrive.

📍 WHERE CAN STUDENTS TAKE PHOTOS?
Students are welcome to gather with friends and family for photographs at local locations, such as the Bundaberg Botanic Gardens, before arriving at the Formal.
Please note that these photo opportunities are not organised, facilitated or supervised by the school.

🕥 WHAT TIME DOES THE FORMAL FINISH?
Students can be collected from 10:30pm at the earliest.
Please ensure appropriate arrangements are made for your child to be collected promptly at the conclusion of the evening.

🚫 WHAT ARE THE ALCOHOL EXPECTATIONS?
Although some Year 12 students may be 18 years or older, no alcohol is permitted at the Senior Formal.
The Formal is a school event, and alcohol must not be consumed: on the grassed arrivals area by students, parents or carers upstairs during dinner anywhere else as part of the Formal event.
We ask that all students, parents, carers and guests respect these expectations so we can provide a safe, enjoyable and memorable evening for everyone

Our final Fortnightly Focus for the term is Respect Shared Spaces - It Starts With you. Our school-wide goal is to encourage students to show initiative in looking after the spaces we all share. Whether it be picking up rubbish, using shared spaces appropriately, reporting damage, or making choices that show respect for others, we want students to understand that looking after our school is a shared responsibility.

All Schools Touch Success. Bundy High Teams dominate their Preliminary Games for QLD All Schools.

Thursday 3 September saw our Bundy High Touch Teams take to the field at the Wide Bay All Schools Touch Carnival. This year we had four teams participate and start their preparations for next term's QLD All Schools carnival at the Gold Coast.

13 Boys (Miss Parker and Mr Lovett), 13 Girls (Miss Gardiner and Ms Morris), Open Girls (Mr Lovett and Ms Morris) and Open Mixed (Ms Manteit, Mr Byron and Mrs Halford). We had some outstanding results throughout the day with 3 of our 4 teams making it into Grand Finals and all 3 teams that had Preliminary QLD All Schools Games winning them convincingly. What an outstanding achievement to be in the top 2 schools in Wide Bay.

13 Boys - 5 wins and one loss by one try. Won their QLD All Schools Prelim Game against Shalom CC.

13 Girls - 3 wins, a draw and a loss. Won their QLD All Schools Prelim Game against Xavier CC.

Open Girls - 3 wins and 2 losses. Won their QLD All Schools Prelim Game against Xavier CC.

Open Mixed - 2 wins, a draw and 2 losses. No prelim game played.

Thank you to students Lachlan M and Sarah S for helping officiate some games on the day in between playing games. Also to Bundy High Teacher Aide Miranda Lammin and parent Julie Bugeja for helping ref on the day. It was very much appreciated.

Thank you to Mr Von Deest and the volunteering students for helping in the canteen on the day. Thanks to all staff involved in coaching and managing and we wish them all the best for their QLD All Schools Campaigns at the Gold Coast early next term.

We would like to also thank our sponsors of our Touch Football Program. Their support is very much appreciated and gives our students the opportunity to take part in these carnivals.
