Chess

In the third Inter-school chess competitions, our congratulations go to D’Arcy and Patrick for achieving merit ribbons in the Open A division. 

Round 4 was held at Brisbane State High School. It was a hard round against some stiff competition. Our Premier Board lost against BSHS with one win overall.

We now play against two very strong schools in Churchie and Grammar.  These are both home rounds and support from their brothers in #RedandBlack will certainly lift our Chess players. 

Debating

Congratulations to our teams who have progressed to the Quarter Final round of the 2019 QDU Secondary Finals – Senior A, Senior B, 10.1, 9.1 and 8.1 teams.

Theatresports

The Senior Theatresports team is through to the semi-final in this competition.  They will be playing on Monday 19 August in the Edmund Rice Theatre – doors open from 6.30pm.  All are welcome to stay after Open Day to support our players.

Music

Last week was a busy week for our Terrace musicians with 23 boys representing Terrace in the Junior GPS Music Day of Excellence at Brisbane Grammar School.  Congratulations to these boys on your behaviour and performance.  We look forward to hearing your musical skills develop over the coming years.

Congratulations to Mrs Domenica Kelly who hosted a String Showcase concert last Wednesday night at Waterford.  

Our Drumline had their last performance of the rugby season last week at the State High game at Tennyson.  We hope you have enjoyed this elite group of young men.

QCMF

The annual Queensland Catholic Schools and Colleges’ Music Festival (QCMF) starts today.  Terrace Music has 793 boys in 32 ensembles!  This is an incredible number of students to organize.  Thank you to Mrs Shiby, Mr Hewerdine and the entire music staff for your leadership in this undertaking.  Please check the Event Memos on the Terrace App to ensure you know where your son needs to be and when.  

This event takes priority over all other activities as this is our major competition of the year. Good luck to all our Terrace Musicians and Ensemble Directors.

YouTube

Our Middle School Musical had a very successful, sell-out run in May.  Please enjoy the highlights from the show via the below YouTube link.
