Director of Culture | Mr Matt Cocking

Welcome 

We extend a warm welcome to Mr Hart our new Speech and Drama tutor.  Mr Hart attended Sydney Grammar School, leaving in 2002. He attended NIDA in 2009, completing the Musical Theatre course under the guidance of Avigail Herman. Since then, he has performed as a vocalist in various corporate acts around Australia, Asia and the Pacific. He has also worked for Opera Australia as a cast member in South Pacific, My Fair Lady and La Cenerentola. He was a cast member in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical produced by Michael Cassel. Mr Hart has also been involved in productions of Pete the Sheep, Sinbad (Malaysian production, directed by Joe Hasham), and Kingsford Smith – The Musical. A keen rower since high school, he is also a level 2 rowing coach and currently competes for Toowong Rowing Club. He is very much looking forward to seeing students develop their speaking and creative brains in Speech and Drama classes.

Future music tours

The last eight years have seen many positive initiatives that have provided lasting memories for our students and families.  However, with a school as busy as Terrace we must also be mindful of the impact to family life and finances. Our last music tours have seen students perform across Europe, in the Vatican, at a Fourth of July parade and with classes by the most sought after American educators. To continue this success, we would like to amend the current Cultural overseas and interstate tours 2019 – 2023 document found on the College App. We look forward to bringing new opportunities your way at the end of the year for 2021.
