Committed to school business

I was delighted to see on the front page of your August 8 edition a beautiful photo of Brisbane Water Secondary College students at our Semester 1 Academic Assembly.

Thank you for featuring in such a prominent way what is one of the highlights of our college year.

We are very proud to be able to recognise and reward students who have achieved highly in their academic program.

I was, however, very interested in my quoted statement that students had "committed themselves to a cool business".

While going to school certainly is "cool", it probably was their "school" business that they had committed themselves to.

I was also very pleased to see a few of the outstanding achievements made across the whole college mentioned.

In fairness to the four boys in the state champion college lawn bowls team, I would point out that it was not the womens' lawn bowls team.

In past years, there have indeed been girl members of this team, and I am sure there will be again, but not on this occasion.

Thank you again for your publication's strong support and promotion of the college.
