FROM THE PRINCIPAL
I am thrilled to announce that, with the support of the PMSA, I have been invited to meet with organisers of the Portugal Rugby Youth Festival in the upcoming weeks. This festival brings together top youth rugby teams from around the world and we are excited about the possibility of including this festival in our offerings for our Rugby students in the near future. This visit is an important step in creating international pathways for our students and expanding opportunities for both our boys' and girls' rugby programs.
Looking ahead, we envision a tour of Portugal in 2026 and the opportunity to host European teams at our school in 2027, which aligns with the Rugby World Cup hosted in Australia.
As we prepare for the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games, we recognise the importance of offering equivalent pathways for both boys and girls in individual and team sports. Building on our existing high-performance opportunities for female athletes in swimming, tennis, netball, basketball and football, the Girls’ Rugby 7s program is aiming to develop additional elite-level pathways.
In addition to our sporting pathways, I will also be exploring new connections with the local schools to establish an exchange program for groups of students and individuals.
Sunshine Coast Grammar sits in a designated Biosphere, and we have committed to the values and purpose of our Biosphere through our Community and Service programs and the implementation of the UN SDGs throughout our programs. With 12 designated Biospheres in Portugal, we are eager to create reciprocal partnerships with schools and young people within the Portuguese Biospheres.
I look forward to sharing updates from Portugal and building exciting new opportunities for our Grammar community.
