Terrace Ladies Group

Welcome Mass

Everyone is welcome to join us at the TLG Welcome Mass, Tuesday 3 March. Mass starts in the Chapel of the Holy Family at 7.30am with coffee and delicious breakfast style items served afterwards in the Founders' Room. Your sons are welcome to join you for the Mass. We are fortunate to have the College Choir and Mr Brad Esbensen coming along to help make it a special morning.  This is a lovely spiritual way to connect with other families at Terrace. 

Years 5 – 9 Mothers' High Tea

Planning is well underway for the Years 5-9 Mothers’ High Tea event to be held on 27 April at the Victoria Park Golf Club. Tickets are $55 each, which include a complimentary glass of bubbles on arrival and your chance to win the wonderful main lucky door prize or one of the lucky draw prizes for each of the five year levels coming on the day. More details on the prizes will be coming over the following weeks with invitations being emailed before the end of term. 

Terrace Cookbook special

For those parents new to the school, you may not be aware that Terrace has a gorgeous cookbook. The recipes are gathered from present and past mothers and include a huge array of family favourites. It has become a staple in many of our homes, not just for the practical aspects to what is offered inside, but also because it is truly a beautiful book. We currently have a special running on the cookbooks to mark the commencement of the year. Cookbooks are $25 each, with a current bundle offer of $30 for a cookbook and a Terrace Red and Black tea towel. Please email Kirsten Carroll on dpklcarroll@gmail.com if you would like to purchase one.

Terrace to the Fore - celebrating 145 years

This year will mark our College’s 145-year anniversary and, in celebration, the TLG will  hold an Anniversary Ball on 6 June 2020 at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre. Tickets will go on sale on Thursday 12 March 2020. For families new to Terrace, this event is held every five years and is always a night to remember.  This year’s Ball will focus on the Terrace Family and our College’s long history of sending Terrace Gentlemen into the world to make their mark. The TLG is currently seeking one or two people to help with the pre-planning of the ball, in particular a graphic designer willing to offer 8-10 hours of time. Volunteers will also be sought to assist on the night.   Look out for the Volunteer Sign Up forms, which will be issued in April/May.  If you are interested in helping coordinate this fantastic event, please email Anna Wright (amwright1@optusnet.com.au) or Libby Baynton (libby@orbitcapital.com.au). Also look out for the fantastic raffle on the College Events page - win a table of 10.  Get in quickly!  

Family Directory

There are still spaces throughout the electronic Parent Directory on the Parent Lounge.  I am sending out another reminder to parents to sign on. Please log onto the Parent Lounge, update your details and share if you are happy for others in your various year levels to contact you if the need arises (e.g. accidental bag swap, lifts to training, invitations etc). This is also crucial for our year level coordinators. If you have any queries on how to update your details on the Family Directory on the Parent Lounge, again, please email Mrs Sam Mills samtonymills@gmail.com.
