Nerang State High School

📚 Every Day Counts – Week 10 📚

As we approach the final days of the term, learning and assessment remain a priority right through to the last day. Every lesson is an opportunity for students to stay engaged, complete important tasks and finish the term strong.

We encourage all students to attend every day, participate in their learning and make the most of the opportunities still ahead. Every day counts, right up until the end of term. 💙

🏉🦈 A Strong Performance from Our Open Boys! 🦈🏉

Our Nerang SHS Open Boys secured an impressive 32–4 victory over MCB Academy in last night’s Titans Challenge match.

The boys showcased excellent teamwork, resilience and determination throughout the game, with their hard work and commitment reflected in the result. It was a fantastic all-round team effort and a great reward for the dedication they continue to show each week.

Congratulations to all players and coaches on another outstanding performance.

Well done, Sharks! 💙❤️

🎭 Year 9 Quailty Art Drama 🎭

Last Monday, our Year 9 QA Drama class of 2026 performed the award-winning Australian play ‘The Stones’. Based on a true story, The Stones is about risk taking behaviour and the pain of guilt when things go too far. The play places the audience in the position of a jury where they must consider whether the boys are responsible for their actions, or too young to know what they were doing.

Students did an awesome job on stage! ✨

📣 Student Voice Forum 2026 📣

On Friday, a group of students from Years 7–12 came together to participate in our Student Voice Forum, sharing their thoughts, experiences and ideas to help shape the future of Nerang State High School.

The forum provided students with the opportunity to discuss key areas of school life, celebrate what is working well and identify opportunities for future growth. Their valuable feedback will contribute to our school improvement planning and help ensure Nerang SHS continues to be a place where students can learn, grow and belong.

Following the forum, students enjoyed a well-deserved pizza party lunch as a thank you for their participation and contribution.

Earlier this term our some of our Year 9 Geography students visited local farms at Beechmont, to collect data on food production as part of their Biomes and Food Security unit. They had a great time speaking with local farmers, picking limes and feeding some of the livestock. 🐮

🏉💪 After three consecutive washouts, our Year 11/12 Girls Rugby League team finally got their season underway at their first gala day of the year!

The girls showed plenty of grit and determination, securing a strong 16–8 victory over Woodridge SHS before going down in a hard-fought battle against Flagstone SSC, 14–10.

With limited opportunities to take the field so far this season, the team displayed outstanding resilience, teamwork, and school pride throughout the day. A fantastic effort from all involved, and plenty to build on as the season continues!

Today our year 11 Hospitality students hosted an ‘Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea’ for staff of Nerang SHS. 🍰☕️

The students planned and prepared all food and made barista coffee for this event. It was a great success and staff enjoyed all the delicious food. We reached our fundraising goal by raising over $300 for the Cancer Council.
