21.01.2022 UNIFORM: We are trialling a new system for our uniform shop in 2021 and offering bookings instead of a walk up and wait system. The College uniform shop will be open for appointments only from 11 January 2021. Location: Senior Campus Administration Building Uniform Shop. Via Gate 2 on School Road. We have introduced this measure to ensure we continue to operate COVID safe and to reduce waiting times.... Appointments will be for hr per student. Appointments will be between the hours of 8am to 2.30pm. PLEASE MAKE BOOKINGS ONLINE: https://capalabasc.schoolzineplus.com/view-session/1 We will be unable to serve families that do not make an appointment. Please note that appointments are also required if you are returning uniforms or swapping sizes. This year we have also introduced an online uniform ordering service on Munch Monitors. We strongly encourage our families to utilise this quick and easy service to order uniforms. We highly recommend that you use this service for hats and socks so that appointments are left vacant for families requiring full uniforms purchases. From the 11th January 2021, Munch Monitor orders that have been received by 9am each day will be available for same day collection between the hours of 12pm and 4pm from the Senior Campus main office. The Uniform Shop will continue to operate by phone appointment only (38239111) until the 7 December 2020 and is available for families wishing to purchase uniforms now. Whilst we currently have plenty of stock we are waiting for our Back to School order which we placed in July. The Uniform provider has advised that due to Covid 19 delays in shipping both by container ship and planes, our order maybe delayed until late January. This may mean that we need to impose purchasing limits if stock levels become low.

02.01.2022 HIGH PERFORMANCE SPORT STARS: Luke Bloomer - volleyball Having only played his sport for four years, this rising star has made fast progress. The Year 11 student has made the Australian youth team volleyball squad, represented a silver medal-winning Queensland team at the Australian Junior Volleyball Championships last year and won a spot in a Queensland Schools Volleyball team which won gold in a state-wide competition. The Capalaba State College Sportsman of the Year 2...018/2019 and Schools Cup Most Valuable Player 2016/2017 has consistently gained international exposure through the Australian youth squad in matches against Thailand and New Zealand. He’s best placed as an outside hitter. I started playing volleyball in 2016 (Year 7) because of my older brothers, Luke said. They both played so I just filled their shoes and decided to compete. I grew to love training and playing and the more I played the greater respect I had for the sport. It is so much fun, I get a thrill while playing and the adrenaline rush is unique. I have played other sports however, volleyball is so different because each game is never the same and I love the diversity the game brings. He says is working towards a future place in the Australian men’s team, the Volleyroos. See more
