Speech & Drama

Many of our Music and Speech & Drama students enter external examinations that are accredited across the world. One of these boards is the Australian Music Examination Board which run the Speech & Drama exams. We would like to congratulate all students who enter these exams, however a special mention must go to 2016 Speech & Drama student Tom Loudon who received the highest grade in the country as well as Year 12 student Fergus Gregg (Terrace Rock Band, Terrace Choir and AHS Production) for receiving the highest Grade 7 mark in Queensland.
