School captains Kadyn and Marley represented our school at today's Remembrance Day service at the Ballina RSL Memorial. It's important we continue to pause and honour those who died or suffered while serving in wars, conflicts and peace operations. In doing so we honour the courage and resilience of those who have served. It also helps us to understand the cost of war and the importance of peace. It is a reminder to appreciate the freedoms we enjoy today and the importance of carrying forward the values of courage, respect and compassion. Lest we forget.

What an incredible honour for Year 10 student Levi Roberts, who on the weekend was named winner of the national Koori Mail Indigenous Art Youth Award for his graphite drawing of historical Aboriginal warrior, cultural informant and performer 'Yungkwa'.

His winning work is currently on display at the Lismore Regional Gallery until February 2027.

This is the first year the Lismore Regional Gallery and Koori Mail have included a youth category for this award. At just 15 years of age Levi was granted permission to enter the 18-25 years category for young artists. The awards are open to Indigenous artists from across Australia and were judged this year by Dr Kimberley Moulton, senior curator of exhibitions at RISING, Melbourne's International Arts Festival.

As well as the recognition, the award comes with a significant cash prize which Levi intends to use to help establish his art career.

Levi is part of Big Picture Academy at Ballina Coast High School, which enables him to pursue his ambitions through the personalised design of learning offered by our Big Picture pathway. We can't wait to see where his career in the arts takes him. Congratulations Levi!

There’s something special about being part of our MADD family, something that makes it hard to leave.

When our annual June production was derailed this year when our beautiful drama teacher (and MADD writer/producer/guru) Ali Chigwidden got sick, it was a disappointing blow for our Year 12 students to not have to opportunity to perform a final show. Many of them had been appearing in MADD since Year 7.

But, when the Universe said no, we interpreted that as a ‘not right now’ and after a bumpy first semester, we have regrouped, rescheduled and are ready to go!

Coming back to rehearse in between HSC exams and Schoolies celebrations our new graduates have been putting their whole hearts into this one, joining our dancers, singers and stage crew who have been working hard to bring this show to life in record time.

Ali has written a sparkly new script as a love letter to our graduating class as they go off into the real world and as a big welcome hug to our debuting junior cast joining our MADD family for the first time.

Come along to this extra special MADD and say goodbye some of our favourites as they take their final bows.

Lucky 13, it’s a joyful return and a warm farewell.

Tickets available now at https://www.trybooking.com/1672641 Don't miss out!
November 24-26.

The final exam is done! 🎉

Congratulations Year 12 on completing your HSC exams and reaching a milestone that has been 13 years in the making. We’re proud of you and all you’ve achieved.

Ernie was among nearly 9,000 students across NSW sitting Physics today, the final exam on the 2026 HSC timetable. Also celebrating today is our wonderful Presiding Officer Graham Cork who has the important task of overseeing the running of our exam centre. Thank you Graham.

To Ernie, and all our Year 12s who sat exams over the past few weeks, take a moment to reflect on how far you’ve come and enjoy a well-deserved break. 💙

🪄We’ve been cooking up something fun for the whole family.

Our new MADD Production Lucky 13 is in its final stage of rehearsals and tickets are going on sale Monday!🎊

Set in a hotel where all is not as it seems, Lucky 13 reimagines well-known misunderstood characters from mythology and literature, giving them a voice and a place to belong.

With a banging soundtrack featuring songs by Queen, Lady Gaga, Alanis Morissette, Katy Perry and Evanescence, and a witty original script written by drama teacher Ali Chigwidden, Lucky 13 is an energetic, irreverent celebration of individuality, finding your tribe and not letting your past define your future.

Shows are being held in the Ballina Coast High School Performing Arts Space from 24-26 November with 12pm and 7pm sessions available.

Our Wednesday 25 November session will be an inclusive performance with reduced strobe lighting and sound effects for audience members with sensory needs.

We warmly welcome all community members and groups to come along.
