Our first Rocky Trail Academy race of the year will take place at Mt Cotton on 15 May.
The Gap State High School has 27 Riders compete for grade-based category podium positions for girls and boys in Junior (Years 7–8), Intermediate (Years 9–10), and Senior (Years 11–12) divisions.
Racers also earn points for their school, competing for the Champion School title.


Both our boys and girls Football Squads have kicked off the game series with plenty of energy and determination.
There have been a few tight games, some draws, a few wins and a couple of loses across several of our teams. Although, overall it has been a great start to the series.
Our Open Boys play Kelvin Grove tonight at Kelvin Grove's fields - so come on down and cheer for TGSHS.
Our players and staff have appreciated your support at the games.


Congratulations to our Cross Country Squad who competed today at Pine Rivers Park, Strathpine.
We had some very strong runners in our Squad who powered through to the finish line, earning them a spot at Regionals in the coming weeks.
Well done to everyone who raced this week.
