TLC Mooting Club

Our TLC Mooting Club is made up of some very determined and dedicated Year 11 & 12 students who battle it out in front of real judges and members of the legal profession at various competitions throughout southeast Qld including the University of Southern Queensland’s prestigious Secondary Schools Moot Competition for 2022, which our team won this year.

Members work tirelessly at rehearsals to correct and sharpen their presentations which is crucial as they are often interrupted by real judges who ask complex questions to gauge their understanding of the issue. Being part of TLC Mooting Club isn't just about entering competitions, it is encouraging our students to consider studying Law and further their argumentation and analysis skills.

TLC Mooting Club Motto - Fortuna Eruditis Favet "fortune favours the prepared mind"

Kokoda Challenge

Kokoda Challenge is a 48km hike through the mountains of the D’Aguilar NP which is open to all students in Year 8-12. Training takes place after school on the paths of the local community and on weekends in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.

The Challenge is run under the four core principals of the original Kokoda Military Campaign – Courage, Endurance, Mateship and Sacrifice. Students are encouraged to develop resilience through hard work and dedication to their training, ultimately being rewarded by the personal accomplishment and exhilaration of crossing the finish line on Challenge Day.
