QCMF workshop and recordings
As mentioned in previous newsletters, the QCMF competition is online this year. Hundreds of Terrace musicians spent the holidays in workshops and recordings to prepare our 2021 submission. Thank you for the time all of our families and ensembles gave as we recorded hours of content. We look forward to viewing this online during the usual section time of QCMF.
Chess workshop
During Staff Week, a number of our Terrace Chess students attended workshops and seminars with Australian Chess Grandmaster Professor David Smerdon. We have been fortunate to engage his services for these workshops and anticipate significant growth and learning, which will be utilised in our upcoming season.

The QDU Finals draw has been released. As it stands, we have the opportunity to have a Terrace Debating team in each level on Grand Final night! Congratulations to the ten teams and their coaches who will be debating.
