We have an important update regarding our upcoming 40th Anniversary celebration.

Due to the significant rise in fuel prices and the increasing cost of flights, we know many of our alumni would face challenges traveling to attend the event in July. After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the celebration.

Our priority is to ensure as many of you as possible can join us to mark this special milestone, so we will be looking to reschedule the event toward the end of the year or in January 2027.

We truly appreciate your understanding and continued support, and we look forward to celebrating together when the time is right. More details will be shared as soon as they are confirmed.

Huge congratulations to our U18s Stingrays on an outstanding win today! 🏉🔥

After a tough and gritty first half which seen both teams in a tight margin, the boys showed incredible resilience, determination, and teamwork in the second half to take control and seal a well-deserved victory over the Moreton Bay Raptors.

What an amazing season it’s been! This success is a true reflection of the hard work and dedication from the players, coaches, volunteers, and our incredible sponsors who make it all possible.

So proud of everyone involved — what a team, what a season! 💙

STINGRAY PRIDE!!
