Today was a fantastic day at Bronze by the Lake, where we enjoyed a thrilling ride in the drag car, satisfying our need for speed. The day is organised by a dedicated group of police staff for the benefit of police and their families. We would like to thank the organisers for their kind donation to support our activities and Penrite for their continued support 🏁 #oil #penrite #penriteoil #qldbluelight #bronzebythelake

Following our recent Channel 10 story, here's a closer look at our Shearing Program in action. We're so proud of what these young people are achieving!

A special thank you to the dedicated Police Officers, Police Liaison Officers, and Teachers who go above and beyond to make this program a success. These young people couldn't do it without you.

This is the foundation to keeping skilled young workers in the region.

💙 Shearing under a different light. 💙

Our Blue Light Shearing Program is about more than getting the job done—it’s about creating opportunities, building skills, and supporting wellbeing in our rural communities.

By bringing people together, sharing knowledge, and providing hands-on experience, we’re helping develop confidence, strengthen connections, and invest in the future of the shearing industry.

Together, we’re making a positive impact—one sheep at a time. 🐑💙

A great day out at Blue Lures Somerset on 20 June at Cormorant Bay. 🎣

While the fish weren’t biting this time, there was still plenty of fun, learning and connection. We welcomed some new friends, and for two of our participants it was their very first time fishing, which made the day even more special.

Blue Lures is about more than just catching fish. It is about getting young people outdoors, building confidence, learning new skills, creating positive connections and enjoying time with police, volunteers and community members in a relaxed and supportive environment.

A big thank you to everyone who came along and helped make the day such a positive experience.

A huge congratulations to the students from Sacred Heart Sandgate on finishing their Blue EDGE Program! 💙

Blue EDGE is designed to help young people build confidence, resilience, teamwork, leadership and positive decision-making, while also strengthening positive relationships with police and other community role models.

To celebrate the completion of the program, students enjoyed a fantastic Final EDGE day packed with fun, connection and well-earned rewards.

A very special thank you to Sgt Bob McDonald from the Queensland Police Service for his support of the program, and to Sandgate PCYC for helping support young people through this important opportunity.

Well done to all students involved — you should be very proud of your effort, growth and the way you represented your school throughout the program. 👏💙

A huge congratulations to the students from Richlands East State School on completing their Blue EDGE Program! 💙

To celebrate their hard work, commitment and growth throughout the program, students enjoyed a well-earned Final EDGE day filled with new shoes, food, fun and plenty of laughs.

Blue EDGE is all about building confidence, teamwork, resilience, leadership and positive connections — and this group should be very proud of what they have achieved.

A big thank you to the school staff, volunteers, police and everyone who supported the program and helped make the day such a success.

What an awesome way to finish the Blue EDGE program!

To celebrate the students completing their Blue EDGE journey, Trinity Bay SHS took part in their Final EDGE reward day with a Yirrganydji Coastlines Low Tide Walk at Yule Point.

The day included a Welcome to Country and safety briefing, followed by a guided cultural and ecological walk through the mangroves and sand bars. Students learnt about Country, the local ecosystem, traditional practices and cultural connections, while also taking part in hands-on activities with bamboo spears.

The day finished with lunch and reflection at Wangetti Beach, giving everyone the chance to relax, connect and celebrate the effort, teamwork and commitment shown throughout the program.

A big congratulations to all Trinity Bay SHS Blue EDGE participants. You should be very proud of what you have achieved.
