18.01.2022 2020 was the perfect year for Ayr State High School to receive support from Eat Up Australia. Eat Up makes and deliver thousands of lunches to schools around Australia each Term. Students without lunch or are still feeling hungry, have enjoyed the delicious warm cheese toasties every day. Once the COVID-19 pandemic hit the region, the Eat Up care packages supported students and their families during hard times. On behalf on the Ayr State High School Family, we would like to give a big shout out and thanks to all the Eat Up Team. Also, thanks to all the wonderful volunteers who helped make the sandwiches each Term.

10.01.2022 RACQ and ARTIE Academy Braking the Cycle Initiative In partnership with the RACQ and the ARTIE Academy, RACQ has sponsored a motor vehicle to Ayr State High School. The vehicle is part of RACQ’s Braking the Cycle Initiative, which provides students access to a vehicle to complete their mandatory 100 driving hours so they can transition from a Learner's licence to a Provisional Driver licence. RACQ has partnered with the ARTIE Academy who run a Driver Licencing Program for our... indigenous students who meet high level attendance targets. The Braking the Cycle Initiative will see volunteer driving supervisors provide an opportunity for all students who meet high level attendance targets, and who do not have regular access to a vehicle at home, to be supported in achieving their 100 mandatory driving hours. Providing students with this opportunity to successfully attain a provisional licence helps support them transitioning from school into the workplace, as many employers prefer employees, especially apprentices, to have a driver's licence. Ayr State High School would like to thank RACQ and the ARTIE Academy for sponsoring our school in this fantastic initiative. Once we have a team of volunteer driving supervisors trained, we will see our vehicle on the road early next term.

04.01.2022 Relay for Life 2020 Ayr State High School was very fortunate and proud to run Relay for Life 2020, in lieu of the Burdekin community event, which was cancelled earlier in the year due to COVID-19. This was a student driven event with over 30 students on the committee tasked with planning and preparing the event. On Saturday 12 September, 138 students and staff participated by walking laps of the school oval for six hours (3 pm - 9 pm). We are proud to announce that Ayr SH...S raised $2566.75 for the Cancer Council and donated approximately 100 tins of canned food. This was very much an Ayr High community event with all aspects of the school contributing to its success - WELL DONE and THANK YOU! We also could not have run this event without the support of the local Burdekin Relay for Life Committee and the Cancer Council NQ Branch - thank you! Ayr High looks forward to taking part in the 2021 Burdekin Relay for Life. Ayr SHS would like to thank the following businesses who donated equipment, prizes or items for our Relay for Life: Woolworths Ayr, Burdekin Distributors, D n S Quality Meats Butcher Shop, Watson’s Butchery, Alfies Bakery, Burdekin Hire Service, Coles Ayr, Scott Boxall, Ayr SES, NQHF - NQ Hardfacing, A & B Rural Supplies, Elders Rural Services Ayr, Burdekin Delta Cinemas Thank you for your support!
