ATHLETICS CARNIVAL >> What a fantastic day at the 2026 Yeronga State High School Athletics Carnival! ☀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

With perfect weather, outstanding participation and incredible school spirit, it was a day to remember.

A huge thank you to our staff, student leaders and competitors who helped make the carnival such a success. Congratulations to all our age champions, event winners and students who gave their best throughout the day.

A special congratulations to Avoca House, who have successfully defended their title and claimed the Athletics Carnival Championship for the second year in a row! 🏆💙

FAB Friday >> Stripes took over Yeronga SHS this week! ❤️🤍🎉

With FAB Friday falling on the same day as our Athletics Carnival, staff embraced the spirit of the day by wearing stripes of all shapes, sizes and colours. From bold patterns to subtle stripes, there was plenty of creativity on display across the school.

Adding to the fun, the Athletics Carnival dress-up theme was Where’s Wally?, and we spotted a few Wallys wandering around campus throughout the day! 🔍

It’s always wonderful to see our staff getting involved, building a strong sense of community, and enthusiastically participating in activities that bring fun, connection and school spirit to Yeronga SHS. 😊💚💛

SHREK THE MUSICAL >> SHREK THE MUSICAL >> Behind every great production is a team of talented students working hard behind the scenes! 💚💛

Our students have been busy designing, building and painting props that will help bring the world of Shrek to life on stage. Every brushstroke, design detail and construction project showcases their creativity, teamwork and dedication behind the scenes.

See their hard work come to life when SHREK THE MUSICAL hits the stage on 25, 26 & 27 June! ✨
