These core qualities align closely with the values of Gumdale’s own wellbeing program, ‘GROW Well,’ which focuses on the development of well-rounded students who are equipped to engage with the world beyond the classroom. In 2021, Gumdale State School further strengthened its sailing program with the acquisition of three joystick-operated Hansa sailing boats, designed with sturdy, capsizing-resistant hulls. These boats are available as an inclusive way for our students with disability to participate in the program, thanks to the generous support of current and past sponsors: Gumdale State School P&C Outside School Hours Care, Todd Gerhardt Realty, Signature Pontoons, Suburban Glass & Leadlights, and NLH Construction. Beyond the direct benefits to students, the partnership has had a positive ripple effect on the broader community. The collaboration fosters a sense of pride among local residents, many of whom view the school and Squadron as cornerstones of the Gumdale area. • RYA Practical and Shore Based Sail Training • RYA Diesel Engine Course • Australian Sailing Safety and Sea Survival • Own Boat Tuition • Mile Builders and Sailing Adventures 0407 044 663 annette@papersailorsrock.com.au Mainsheet 2024 Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron Yearbook 44 Growing our community
