A great way to engage our QCS students and propel them into successful habits.

Your program was great to push and extend our students. Your team is also a credit to you. It was fun and exciting and we will definitely be back again – it's a perfect fit for our program.

I just wanted to congratulate you and your team for the fabulous camp that we had under your direction. For the first time we felt we were at a leadership camp, not a camp that was manipulated to look like a leadership camp – the professionalism was outstanding. We have decided to rebook for multiple years.

Peter Hughes, Deputy Principal Coombabah State High School

Thank you for your awesome effort with our group last week, but a huge thank you for all your time and commitment in making our Fitness Camp such an invaluable three-day experience. We have no hesitation in recommending the Sports Centre for all and any camps to meet the needs of school groups. We will be back next year.

Anthony Lee, Cert III Fitness, Shailer Park State High School

The kids thoroughly enjoyed the QCS Bootcamp. They said they could apply and implement some of the skills they picked up, and it put everything in focus and was good information to take on board. All in all though it was a valuable day and presented skills and strategies in quite a novel way that the kids could implement.

Anne-Maree King, Dean Senior Secondary, Shailer Park State High School
