  • Top-12-Students-Announced.Pdf
    Minister for Education and Minister for Industrial Relations The Honourable Grace Grace Queensland’s top Year 12 graduates announced Education Minister Grace Grace has today congratulated the state’s top Year 12 graduates from the class of 2018 at the Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) Achievement Awards. “These annual awards are a fantastic opportunity to recognise the hard work and achievement of our top students, as well as the teachers and families who supported them,” Ms Grace said. “In 2018, close to 49,000 young Queenslanders received a QCE. They have now turned their focus to entering university, starting a trade or moving straight into the workforce,” Ms Grace said. Ms Grace said the top award of Outstanding Academic Achiever went to Maya Lamont who attended Indooroopilly State High School. Maya received a certificate, trophy, and $5000. “Maya’s extraordinary Year 12 results placed her ahead of more than 51,000 of her peers,” Ms Grace said. “She achieved exceptionally highly in all her school subjects, the Queensland Core Skills Test, tertiary entrance ranking, and in a philosophy subject at university. “Maya hopes to work in environmental law or government in the future and advocate for causes she’s passionate about. “This year Maya will study Arts and law at The University of Queensland. “I congratulate Maya and commend the wonderfully supportive learning environment at Indooroopilly State High School that helped her to flourish.” QCAA chief executive officer Chris Rider said the awards highlighted the strength of senior schooling in Queensland. “The award winners attended 23 different state and non-state schools,” Mr Rider said.

  • The Bishop's Synod Charge 2009 the Rt Rev'd Gregory E Thompson
    The Bishop’s Synod Charge 2009 The Rt Rev’d Gregory E Thompson Welcome to the thirtieth synod of the Diocese of the Northern Territory. I acknowledge the traditional custodians, the Larrakia people on whose land we meet in order to give thanks for God’s faithfulness to us, to hear the stories and concerns on our hearts and minds and to seek to serve Christ with our best energies and insight for our Diocese and for the people of the Northern Territory. A Cord of Grace, Goodwill and Common Purpose When I travel this Diocese of over 1.3 million square kilometres, featuring desert, coastal, billabong, urban, outstation and agency communities, I wonder at the unique gifting of the landscape, cultures and the people that are within our Diocesan community. With such breadth and beauty comes extraordinary opportunity in our mission as Christ’s people but also these qualities bring significant tensions of holding our life together in its diversity and distance. I imagine often our church and community life like a string of pearls or precious gems from the Arafura Sea to the Simpson Desert – each pearl or gem unique but each one reliant on a cord of grace, goodwill and common purpose. Without the cord running through our different communities we are isolated and vulnerable before the social and spiritual challenges before us. Without a shared sense of direction under the good purposes of God, our contribution to God’s mission is unsustainable, for the weak give up without help and the strong in their own independence are not able to receive the necessary gifts from others.
