Cultural Endeavours

Robina State High School has a very strong relationship with the community. Through a range of service and cultural organisations and activities students and staff participate in developing a school response to community needs, including development of a global understanding through International Programs.

LEO Club

LEO coordinator Michelle Trollope has a great program in place for students to be involved in community and cultural events. The Club is the primary source of fundraising in the school and is heavily involved in supporting charities including the local Hear and Say Centre which helps children with cochlear implants learn to speak.

The LEO club also supports medical research through the sale of Valentines Day Roses. Former club president Prue Plummer said “The LEO Club is not just all about fundraising. It's about Leadership, Experience and Opportunity. I want to continue to encourage all members to be a part of the LEO experience, as I have already found it to be a confidence building process. Also I find being part of a team like this is a rewarding experience, especially being able to make heaps of new friends.”

The Environment Committee

It is the mission of our Environment Committee, headed by Ms Helen McKenzie, to provide the Robina Community with an everlasting flora and fauna habitat and an environment where the community can recognise and remember late students and school members in a memorial place. The area will be protected by the community and legislators to ensure a natural habitat survives development into the next century and beyond.

It is hoped that the wider community takes ownership of the rainforest. Obviously the students will be the primary caretakers of the environment and utilize it for learning experiences. However it is envisaged that the wider community will take pride in its up keep as the benefits aesthetically, culturally and naturally will be reaped by the wider community. It is hoped the rainforest becomes an area of community pride.

The Environment Committee recognise the valuable contributions of our sponsors, the Sunland Group and Gecko, and thank them for their support.

Student Council

The Student Council is an essential part of the student leadership program. It supports other organisations including the LEO Club and Environment Committee in providing opportunities for students to become actively involved in school life. It is responsible for facilitating events such as "Shave for a Cure" and our annual Talent Quest.

Student representatives from all year levels meet regularly to discuss initiatives and provide a voice for the student body. The council features sub-committees which deal with aspects of school life such as the appreciation of our school history. 2006 will mark the 10th anniversary of the founding of the school and it is envisaged that the student council will play a pivotal role in celebrating this event.
