National recognition for Breakers Junior AFL
Congratulations to the Coolum Beach Breakers Junior AFL Club, who have been recognised with two impressive awards. As well as being awarded the best Qld AFL Club for 2024, club volunteer and team manager Amy Sheehan also took out the Toyota AFL National Volunteer of the Year (media category). This is fantastic news for the Club, which has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, including securing $500,000 earlier this year for new changerooms. Exciting times ahead!
Paint the Town Read
If you happened to see dozens of Coolum State School students roaming the streets of Coolum last week, you would have also noticed them weaving in and out of local businesses, on a magic reading journey. It was all part of the school’s third annual Paint the Town Read event, a fantastic initiative where local businesses get the opportunity to host the students and read a story. Unfortunately, the event, which is part of Book Week, always falls during a Parliamentary sitting, but it doesn’t stop me from proudly supporting it. Lucky for me, my team in the office were only too happy to fill in to read the book and answer their many questions! Congratulations to the school and all our local businesses that support this great learning experience.
