Debating

Congratulations to Harry Rackemann, Scott Moran, James Hurst and Benjamin Scuderi who have made it through to Round 2 of the State Trials – Current top 48. Good luck to these Terrace Gentlemen as they debate their way through to the next round.

GPS Debating Round 4 v TSS

Due to the illness at TSS, the only debate held last week was the Senior A.  Congratulations to our team who won this round.

GPS Debating Round 5 v IGS

An email has been sent home to all students and parents regarding the transportation for the IGS debates on Friday 9 March. These are important debates as we lost a round due to illness at TSS.  Please ensure you read this email and respond accordingly.

Due to the GPS Swimming Championships, there will be no debates this Friday night.  Best of luck to our GPS Junior and Senior Swimmers.

We Will Rock You

It is important that all students check they are reading the most up to date rehearsal schedule information.  The schedule will change as rehearsal progress.
