Somerville House

Year 1 students recently enjoyed a wonderful day of discovery as they travelled by train to South Bank for their excursion.

The girls explored the Queensland Museum Kurilpa and SparkLab, sparking curiosity and hands-on learning, before enjoying a picnic lunch and a walk back through South Bank.

With 65 students and 20 adults attending, it was a fantastic day of learning, exploration and fun for everyone involved. 💚

Year 5 students recently stepped back in time at the Eureka Gold Rush excursion, enjoying a day of hands-on learning and discovery. From panning for gold and building shelters to making damper, students experienced life on the 1850s goldfields while exploring the challenges and opportunities of the era. 💚

Four Year 11 Legal Studies students recently stepped into the role of MPs for a day at the Queensland Parliament 2026 Legal Studies Youth Parliament.

From delivering speeches in the Chamber to debating important issues, our students demonstrated confidence, teamwork and a genuine passion for making a difference. Charli M and Leila M presented well-reasoned, articulate speeches on freedom of speech and mental health, while Matilda R worked within the Press Gallery, conducting interviews with Youth Members of Parliament. Sierra C supported the team as a dedicated photographer and cheerleader.

We are incredibly proud of the way each student represented Somerville House and contributed their ideas for the future of their communities. 💚
