Director of Music | Mr Jan Hewerdine

On Tuesday, we had 23 musicians and singers participating in the annual GPS Music Day of Excellence. This annual event brings the GPS Association’s finest middle school aged music makers together for one day, culminating in an evening performance, which was held at Brisbane Grammar School. Photos from the event are available on the Terrace Image Library. If you are not already registered for the library please contact images@terrace.qld.edu.au for instructions on how to register.

Last night the String Showcase was held in the Edmund Rice Theatre. Sincere thanks to Mrs Kelly, Mrs Davis and Ms Phillips. 

Next week sees the commencement of the QCMF at Villanova College. We will have 30 ensembles and choirs participating over the three-day event. I ask that families please check the Parent Lounge for any outstanding invites and respond.

We are coming into the time of year when external music exams are often taken. Please ask students to practice regularly. No amount of natural ability will get a candidate over the line. Success comes through consistent application. Please utilise Music Practice Hall on Mondays as well.
