Chess

On Tuesday, our Premier, Senior, and Junior teams competed in the Interschool Secondary Chess Championships at Churchie. The Premier team played some very close games against Grammar and Churchie.

Congratulations to Yang, Alex, Jack and Joshua for proudly representing Terrace in the Premier division. Likewise, congratulations to D’Arcy and Patrick for achieving merit ribbons in the Open A division. 

On another note, the GPS teams performed very strongly against Nudgee on Friday night with wins across the board. We look forward to another great round of competition against Brisbane State High School on their home ground this Friday night.

Music

Please see Mr Hewerdine’s article about the upcoming QCMF – Queensland Catholic Colleges’ Music Festival. It is important that parents visit the Parent Lounge and click “Accept” beside the invitations for their son's ensemble event. This is our Grand Final competition if you will and takes precedence over other events.

After the very busy co-curricular photo day held this week, would you please pay special attention to ensuring your son has the correct uniform for his ensemble? It is important to note that black socks are to be worn with black trousers and grey socks are to be worn with grey trousers. For a final touch, students should please polish their shoes!

The annual Terrace Jazz Night will be held on Friday 6 September on the roof of the new Mt Sion building. Further information will be forthcoming.
