Director of Music | Acting Director, Mr Jan Hewerdine

Last Saturday, we held our final performance of We Will Rock You, which ran at the Gardens Theatre. An enthusiastic full house, coupled with stellar performances from the cast, orchestra and crew, made for a memorable night.

Congratulations to the Terrace Symphony Orchestra who performed on assembly under the direction of Mrs Domenica Kelly.

A reminder to all participants in next week’s Winter Concert, that you will need a white shirt.

As we approach the end of term, could I please ask that students keep an eye on their lesson timetables and notify their Music/Speech and Drama teachers in advance of any absences related to class assessment. Most of our teachers are employed on a casual basis with teaching portfolios spread across multiple schools. Early notification of such absences will assist them in making the most of their time and ensuring your son's lessons are keep up to date.

To discontinue lessons, please email music@terrace.qld.edu.au at least two full weeks prior to the end of term (Friday 8 June). Notification after this time will incur a full term’s fee for the following term.

For those of you who participate in our Premier Ensembles, the Terrace Shop now has a selection of black microfibre shirts available for $50. These will be required, along with black trousers, for the Norman Clarke Concert later this term.

Please check the Terrace App and Parent Lounge regularly as this is where information regarding various events (see the list below) will now be published. As events are approved and posted to the Parent Lounge, you will be sent an email advising the name of the event, including the Event Memo, to check and you will be required to give a response regarding attendance. Event Memos will also be available through the Terrace App in Culture>Music.
