FROM THE DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
We’ve had a busy and exciting first term, filled with multiple events on campus. It has been wonderful to welcome so many community members to celebrate learning, achievements, and the vibrant spirit of our school. Thank you for your ongoing support and participation in these events.
Campus Traffic Update
We appreciate everyone’s efforts in ensuring safe and smooth traffic flow on campus. As we head into Term 2, please note that there will be no changes to current traffic arrangements.
However, we have observed an increasing number of vehicles arriving excessively early for the end of the school day. To ensure staff have access to designated parking areas for afternoon co-curricular activities, please do not park in staff parking areas (marked with blue squares).
To ensure effective parking management, all staff and student vehicles must display the required decal. Cars parked in staff parking areas without a decal will be asked to move.
A friendly reminder:
- Park in the marked car parks on the training oval if there are no parent parks available
- Turn off your car while waiting to reduce noise and pollution.
- Arrive at/after the bell, students will always be supervised
Your cooperation helps create a safer and more efficient environment for everyone. Thank you for your support.
A reminder for new families of the student collection points and hot tips for drop off:
- Primary end of school day 3:10 pm
- Secondary end of school day 3:13 pm

ANZAC Day
Each year, Sunshine Coast Grammar School commemorates ANZAC Day with a special ANZAC whole school assembly and participates in community events.
This year, parents are invited to attend the special whole school assembly on Thursday ,24 April 2025. This assembly follows a traditional ANZAC service format, and families have the opportunity to participate by laying a wreath or floral arrangement.
The Bel Canto Choir will also be performing at the Dawn Service in Mooloolaba, and Grammar will again be participating in the Buderim community ANZAC Day march on Friday, 25 April 2025. Students from Prep to Year 12 are invited to march with their teachers, wearing full formal uniforms including formal hats and blazers for secondary students. The assembly point for the march is the Buderim Woolworths car park at 8:00 am for an 8:30 am start. The march proceeds down the main street of Buderim and concludes at the Buderim State School oval. Our music students will also be providing music for the march, located at the Buderim Pizza Company.
Parents can collect children from the oval. After the march, families may, if they wish, choose to join the community ANZAC service that follows the march. This is located in the forest in the Buderim State School grounds at the conclusion of the march.
Grammar has a proud tradition of forming the largest cohort of students marching from any local school and we look forward to again joining with our students to mark this significant occasion.
2025 Term Dates
A reminder that Term 1 ends on Friday, 4 April and Term 2 will commence on Tuesday, 22 April. We wish all students and families a safe and restful break and look forward to welcoming you back to campus in Term 2.
