Welcome to QA sport news for 2024. There are so many opportunities on offer for our students this year; including representative level sport, our Sports Day program, CAS, QA Gym and our ever-popular GRIT sessions (now offered in the mornings AND afternoons), as well as Sportacular Fridays!
Please join us in celebrating the success of our QAHS student athletes below.

It was played at Pelican Waters Golf Club and Caloundra Golf Club in Sunshine Coast. Riko won the U17 division and came 2nd overall with scores 73 (+2), 67 (-2), 70 (-1).
She then travelled to Adelaide for the SA Junior Amateur where she placed T16 and SA Junior Masters (both World Ranking Amateur event) where she placed T14.
Her last two tournaments were in Tasmania. She competed in the TAS Junior Amateur and TAS Junior Masters (both World Ranking Amateur events) and won both tournaments in U18, coming 5th overall in her first one and 3rd overall in her second one.

Australian Olympic Change-Maker Representatives
Year 12 Student (2023) Natasha Lynch and Year 12 student (2024) Riko Danjo were both nominated to be part of the young Olympic Change-Makers. The Australian Olympic Change-Maker program recognises secondary students from around the country who demonstrate the Olympic spirit – friendship, sportsmanship and striving for excellence - both on and off the playing field, through leadership and driving positive change in their school and local communities.
The Change-Maker program provides students with the opportunity to share their ideas, connect with other like-minded people and be immersed in a unique Olympic experience, hearing first-hand from Olympians.
