This Friday night (April 21st) our Mountain Creek State High School Year 12 Robotics team flies out for Dallas, USA!

The team of:
- Stephanie Cliffe
- Olivia O'Rourke
- Jade Neuendorf
Zaviah Dullahide
will be flying over to to the VEX Robotics Worlds final competition to be held in Dallas next week from April 25-27th. A great reward for twice winning at FNQ Regionals, twice reaching the National finals, and now twice being invited to the Worlds. Covid stopped them getting to the US last year, but not this year.

Congratulations team - and well deserved after two years of excellent results!

Massive thank you to all those that have provided support for the team to make the trip to the event, including Projex Partners Pty Ltd, Shadforths Civil Contractors, Maroochydore Rsl and the many, many others who have provided support both large and small. Special mention too for The Creek Tavern who were very generous in making available fundraising opportunities for the team and their very supportive parents! !

1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men over the age of 50 will experience osteoporotic fractures. Osteoporosis is the loss of bone tissue causing them to become weaker and more likely to fracture. It is a silent, progressive disease and sufferers may be unaware of the condition until they experience a fracture after minimal trauma. If left undetected and untreated, osteoporosis can cause severe pain and affect the quality of life to sufferers.

At FitScan, we offer Bone Mineral Densitometry scans that can detect osteoporosis before the first fracture occurs.

FitScan's DEXA technology is the gold standard for measuring body composition as it is significantly more accurate than other measurement techniques. This quick and easy scan is used by many elite athletes and people who are serious about their health. The DEXA whole body scanning system accurately measures lean muscle, body fat and bone mass.

The picture below shows why BMI (Body Mass Index) isn't an accurate tool for measuring body composition. BMI estimates & categorizes the amount of body fat a person carries based on height and weight only.

Here's a useful chart to help interpret body fat percentages. It accounts for both gender differences and age differences. Simply find your age category in the left hand column of your respective gender, and then look across to see where you fall in your age group.
