Director of Music | Acting Director, Mr Jan Hewerdine

Last Sunday the premier ensembles performed at the Norman Clarke Concert. This important calendar event, which is held in Augustine Hall at Villanova College, was held in the presence of the Extra Curricular Music Program's benefactor Mr Norman Clarke, the College Principal Dr Michael Carroll and families. Many thanks to all participants, guests and the TPA who have made this prestigious event such a success. 

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 sons’ lessons are kept up to date. Whilst we have access to assessment calendars, some assessments are not always notified through this medium. We rely on students to inform us of potential clashes. Parental support in this area is appreciated.

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