APPLAUSE FOR SHINE ON💫❤️‍🔥

Congratulations to the Great Lakes Learning Community for their spectacular Shine On performance held on Wednesday at Club Forster!

From start to finish, the event was a vibrant celebration of student achievement, creativity, and teamwork. Performers dazzled the audience with an array of talents—ranging from vocal and instrumental music, to energetic dance routines, inspiring drama acts, and expressive visual arts displays. Each student brought their unique flair and passion to the stage, showcasing your commitment to excellence across the arts.

A special thank you goes to the hardworking staff members who dedicated countless hours to rehearsals, planning, and supporting the performers. Your guidance and enthusiasm helped bring out the best in every student and ensured the event ran smoothly.

We’d also like to recognise the members of Club Forster for generously hosting the evening, providing a welcoming space for families, friends and the wider community to come together and celebrate our young people.

Thank you to everyone involved—students, staff, families and community partners—for making Shine On 2026 an unforgettable success. Your combined efforts continue to give our learning community opportunities to shine bright and grow in confidence. We can’t wait to see what amazing talents emerge next!

Shine on, Great Lakes!🔥

THANKYOU Great Lakes College P&C!
We’re excited to share that our P&C has donated $30,000 to our college!
This generous gift will help improve resources and opportunities for our students. Thank you to everyone in the P&C for supporting our school community!

🎉 BIG NEWS FROM YOUR P&C!

At last week's meeting, the P&C voted to donate $30,000 across our three campuses: Forster, Tuncurry and Senior Campus.

The best part? The ideas came straight from the students. Our principals brought their wish lists to the meeting, including new soccer goals, football posts, extra seating and an outdoor learning area. There was even some wishful thinking in the mix, a boat for the fishing crew! 🎣

None of this happens without our P&C-run canteen. A huge thank you to the staff and volunteers who raised these funds, every recess and lunch order helps make things like this possible. 🙌

We can't wait to see these projects come to life. Watch this space!

The RFS will be conducting a Controlled Hazard Reduction Burn in the bush behind the school from about Midday today. The predicted southerly winds should take the smoke away from the school.
