Joseph and His Technicolor Dreamcoat
The biennial production of our Middle School Musical will be held in Week 3 Term 2 in the Edmund Rice Theatre. This musical places students from Years 5 – 8 onstage, where they learn the formative tools to succeed in this and future productions. This year will see the production of Joseph and His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat as an all singing musical to help grow our vibrant choral program.
Tickets will be on sale via College Events soon.
Jazz Night – A Night with Frank
Tonight will see 70 of our Jazz students perform at the annual Jazz Night, where guest artist Brad Leaver (Frank Sinatra) will end the night with the Terrace All Star Big Band. This is an excellent opportunity for our students to perform for a live audience, hear their peers perform and either perform alongside their teacher or be mentored by a professional artist.
Ticket sales have been very popular, for last minute tickets visit College Events.
Continued success in Debating
Well done to our Senior A who won against ACGS last week, keeping them second on the ladder. Congratulations also to our 9.1 team, who are back on their winning streak.

We have one more round in the GPS competition, and it will be a home round against The Southport School (TSS).
Last Monday night saw the Queensland State Debating Team trials where three Terrace students Fergus Farrell (Year 12), Thomas Musgrave and Thomas Nunn-Rutledge (Year 11), competed against seven other students for two state team positions.
Sincere congratulations to Thomas Nunn-Rutledge, representing Queensland as a member of the Queensland State QDU Debating Team. Thomas Musgrave is a Queenlsand reserve.
