Business News

Our Year 11 and 12 students recently participated in the CQUniversity School Business Challenge on Wednesday, 7 May. Representing North Rockhampton State High School with pride, these students showcased their knowledge across a variety of senior business subjects including Accounting, Legal Studies, and Business. Their dedication to their studies ensured they were well-prepared for this prestigious annual competition, which provides an excellent opportunity to apply classroom learning in a competitive, real-world context.

Year 11 Legal Studies students step into virtual courtroom

In the classroom, Year 11 Legal Studies students had the opportunity to take part in the ‘Judge for Yourself’ program, an initiative developed by the Queensland Sentencing Advisory Council. This immersive activity placed students in the role of a judge, challenging them to assess real-life case facts and make sentencing decisions based on Queensland law. Through guided discussions and critical analysis, students explored the complexities of the legal system and gained a deeper understanding of the principles underpinning justice and sentencing.

We are proud of our students’ continued engagement with authentic learning experiences that extend beyond the classroom and prepare them for future academic and professional success.
