E-SCOOTER AND E_BIKE LAWS ARE CHANGING

From 1 July 2026, tougher laws for e-scooters and e-bikes will be rolled out including:

new police powers to seize and destroy illegal devices
riders must be aged 16+ and hold a licence from 31 August (some exemptions apply)
parents can be fined if children under 16 ride illegally
fines of more than $500 for offences including not wearing a helmet, doubling and careless riding
12km/h speed limits on footpaths and when passing pedestrians on shared paths.

Families are encouraged to check the new rules and talk to their child before they ride: https://streetsmarts.initiatives.qld.gov.au/e-bikes-e-scooters/

A TEAM TUITION

From Term 3 2026, PBC will offer an opt-in academic support program for students in year 7-12, through a partnership with A Team Tuition.

This initiative has been designed for families looking for extra academic structure and guidance beyond the school’s existing support.

This program is designed to be:

Delivered immediately after school
Conveniently on school campus
Small-group tutoring (groups of 4-6 students)

Tutors will rotate amongst the group, providing targeted support while helping to confidence, motivation and ownership of learning.

These sessions provide a proven routine: we tackle immediate homework, assessment, and exam stress first to reduce anxiety, then transition into English and Math tasks to build lasting independence.
