20th Anniversary Dinner
What a wonderful evening we had as we gathered for our 20th Anniversary Dinner last night!
It was a true blessing to be joined by past Principals, long-serving staff, and faithful supporters who have each played a part in the Staines story over the past two decades. Together, we shared memories, laughter, and reflections on the journey God has taken us on—from humble beginnings to the thriving community we are today.
Worship and prayer group
Each Thursday, we gather for a special time of worship and prayer led by Mr Graaf—and you're invited.
Origin Day
It’s Origin Day here at SMC! It has been great to see so many students getting ready for the State of Origin by wearing their team colours!
Devotion – You’re almost there!
Psychologists say the strongest influence on our present is often our past. But Paul said: ‘… But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus’ (Philippians 3:13-14 NLT).
Under 8’s Day
We had a blast celebrating Under 8s Day today at Staines Memorial College! Our littlest learners from Kindy to Year 2 came dressed as astronauts, aliens, and everything in between, bringing our space theme to life with colour and creativity.
Fire Department Visit
We had the pleasure of welcoming the Bundamba Fire Department to Bethany Oval for a special fire safety incursion with our Kindy and Year 1 students.
25th National Simultaneous Storytime
Our Lower Primary students joined millions of children across Australia for the 25th National Simultaneous Storytime, and what a fantastic experience it was!
RACQ Docudrama
Last Tuesday, our Year 11 and 12 students attended the RACQ Docudrama, a road safety program that uses real-life scenarios to highlight the risks of unsafe driving.
Devotion – You can learn to love
You can learn to love by thinking loving thoughts. By focusing on the other person’s needs, pains, difficulties, goals, and desires, not just your own. The old saying goes, ‘It’s easier to understand someone when you walk a mile in their shoes.’ Hurting people tend to hurt other people. If someone is hurting you, that person may be doing so because they are hurting. How can you love them? By looking beyond their faults and seeing their needs. The least lovable people are often those who need love the most. The people we would prefer to ignore are the very ones who need huge doses of love.
