This week, members of our Student Council welcomed Minister for Education and the Arts, Hon. John-Paul Langbroek MP, back to Corinda State High School. The Minister spent time with Year 12 student and co-Vice Captain Angel Sadik, who is creating his portrait for this year’s Next Gen Exhibition, Brisbane Portrait Prize, where she has been recognised as a Highly Commended Finalist in 2024 and Finalist in 2025. We can’t wait to see the finished portrait!

During his visit, the Minister’s policy advisors observed a Youth Support Worker cluster meeting with representatives from local schools including Indooroopilly State High School, while the Minister explored our Smart Farm, participating alongside Junior Agriculture students in hands-on activities including cattle care, poultry management, honey collection, and crop production.
