Student governance
We have three tiers of student leadership at QACI.
In Year 12, we have 7 Student Directors - one for each of the QACI Pillars of Passion, one for Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS) and one for Information and Computer Technology (ICT).
This year our Student Directors are:
The Student Directors meet monthly with the Principal.
In Year 11, we have 12 House Managers - 4 for each house.
This year our House Managers are:
Our Year 10 students have the opportunity to represent their Connect Class in the Student Congress. The Student Congress is the major student consultation and decision making body. The Congress is facilitated by Year 11 House Managers, attended also by the Student Directors and meets once a term.
Houses
The 3 houses represent a cultural or language group, thus reflecting our global perspective.
Èveiller (French), means Awaken
Matjiin, (Australian Aboriginal) means Create
Vivezza (Italian) means Liveliness
There is always friendly and sometimes fierce rivalry among the houses and the colours are worn with pride.
This year we will have 4 Major House Events:
Term 1: Aquafest
Term 2: Runfest
Term 3: Talentfest
Term 4: Funfest
The points awarded from each of these events will determine which House will win the coveted House trophy - The Golden Goose Yulgoo - meaning Heart in the Gungarri Language, a South-West Queensland Indigenous language.
