Musical – journey to the end

While the bell may have rung early on our School of Rock experience, it would be remiss of me to let the moment go without sharing some reflections on the 2020 Terrace production experience.  

We had a cast who committed body and soul to the challenges presented by a show like School of Rock.  We had a production team encompassing so many facets of the College community, supporting and engaging our students throughout the process.  To the Instrumental Music team, the Drama team, the costume team, and to the Grounds team - a huge thank you.  We are looking at creative ways we can share our School of Rock experience with the wider College community down the track.

As always, the health and safety of the Terrace Community must be our number one priority, and so while the bell may have rung early, School of Rock will live on in our hearts and minds for a long while to come.  See you after recess!

Debating State team success

Over many decades, Terrace has had a strong representation in the trial selection process for the Queensland Schools Debating team. The selection process involves participation in debates over four weekends to reduce the participants down to the top 12. From there, the top 12 participants are required to complete weekly readings on a variety of topics, complete exams on these and participate in three to four debates every weekend. Terrace had 14 students nominate themselves for this year’s trials with three students making it through to the top 12; Benjamin Scuderi (Year 12), Luke Ames (Year 11) and Thomas Musgrave (Year 10). Congratulations to these three debaters for the many hours they have put in to be the best they can be.

Due to the current situation, the selection process for the Queensland Schools Debating team and the National Schools Debating Championship (due to be held in May) have been put on hold. The Australian Debating Federation is hoping to run this later in the year. We wish Benjamin, Luke and Thomas all the best for their trials when they resume.
