Debating - The start of QDU Years 5, 6 and 7

Thank you to the staff and students who two weeks ago began their Years 5, 6 or 7 QDU journey with an all-day workshop to prepare for their season. This workshop is part of the initiative in place to ensure all debaters have the best training before competition and to grow our talent for future years.  Well done Debaters! 

QDU Finals 

We are almost at the conclusion of the QDU Debating Rounds and we are pleased to announce that at this stage, ten teams are through to finals. We will have the final wrap after this week.

Each year the St Joseph's College, Gregory Terrace Red Thunder Drumline is joined by the Rock Band to perform the Rugby Halftime entertainment. Last year saw 'We Will Rock You' and 'We are the Champions' from the musical We Will Rock You by Queen performed by the leads and rhythm section of the musical, joined by the Drumline to an audience of 5000.
