Students lead real-world marine science in global conservation partnership
Students from Kingscliff High School and local primary schools are working together to help protect the coastal waterways near their school. They have joined a special project with Dolphin Research Australia, where they learn about the health of the ocean and the local creeks.
This project is part of a worldwide program that looks after important marine areas, including the Tweed Byron Hope Spot. Our students are some of the first to study this area and collect information that will help scientists understand how to look after it.
Year 7 Kingscliff High students are testing the water and checking seagrass, which is where dolphins live. Year 6 students from nearby primary schools are collecting and studying tiny bits of plastic that pollute the creek.
All the information they collect will help scientists learn about changes in the environment, and students will return every six months to keep studying the area.
This project is part of Kingscliff High School’s Coastal Academy of Stem program, which gives high potential, gifted and talented students great opportunities to learn through real science projects. It also helps build strong friendships and learning pathways from primary school through to high school and beyond.
Kingscliff High School Deputy Principal, Mr Borg, joined students for the fieldwork and said how important it is for students to learn by doing real science in their local area.
After the fieldwork, students will used what they learned to create a community display at the Maker Fair. They hope to share their findings and teach others about caring for the ocean.
Our school is supported by universities and TAFE, helping students think about future careers in science and protecting the environment.
Our School Captain, Archie, has been selected for National Youth Parliament 2026
Kingscliff High School is proud to share that Year 12 student Archie has been selected to represent the electorate of Richmond at National Youth Parliament from Sunday 16 to Thursday 20 August 2026. We congratulate Archie on this outstanding achievement.
Delivered by the Department of the House of Representatives in partnership with Y Australia, the program will bring together 150 secondary school students from across Australia to Parliament House and the Museum of Australian Democracy (Old Parliament House) for an immersive five day experience.
Over five days, participants will take part in hands-on experiences including simulated parliamentary debates, workshops with political leaders, and policy discussions, building their understanding of how Australia’s democratic system works.
More than 2,200 young people applied for National Youth Parliament, highlighting strong interest in civic engagement among secondary school students.
Archie was selected through a highly competitive, multi-stage process, with more than 2,200 applications received from across the country. Their application demonstrated a strong interest in civic participation, leadership, and community engagement.
Y Australia’s research shows young people care about issues like housing, cost of living and healthcare but often feel they don’t have a say. National Youth Parliament provides a valuable opportunity for students to develop confidence, leadership skills and a deeper understanding of how they can engage with and contribute to Australia’s democracy.

He is a dedicated groundsman at both Kingscliff High School and Tumbulgum Public School. This year he celebrated his 90th birthday and we are incredibly proud to acknowledge Alwyn’s extraordinary contribution and the positive impact he has made across generations of students, staff and families.
He attended the NSW Department of Education Service Recognition Dinner at NSW Parliament House in Sydney where he was honoured for his dedication to his profession presented by Mr Murat Dizdar, the Secretary for the NSW Department of Education. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSFLopqEtm1/
