“Empowering Tomorrow’s Leaders: The Rise Program”

In the heart of Coolangatta on the Gold Coast, the Rise Program ignites the potential within Year 9 students, fostering a transformative journey of self-discovery, community service, and entrepreneurial thinking.

Our vision is to cultivate resilient, globally aware individuals who embrace collaboration, celebrate diversity, and actively shape their own learning path. We believe that true leadership extends beyond personal growth-it involves giving back to the community that nurtures us. 

As part of the Rise Program, students engage in meaningful service projects that directly impact our local community. Whether it’s volunteering at local shelters, organising environmental clean-ups, or supporting community events, our rising leaders learn the value of empathy, compassion, and active citizenship.
