QDU Debating

Congratulations to all our teams who debated last week. We had a clean sweep of winners! With more debates this week, we are looking for more positive results.

House Choir

Congratulations to Reidy House, who are the winners of this year’s House Choir Cup. Back to back winner for the People’s Choice Shield is Kearney House.

What a great evening of entertainment and camaraderie between the nine Houses. Thanks to the House Deans, Seniors and Pastoral Care Mentors for their leadership leading up to this event. Thank you also to our Terrace Performing Arts Support Group and their volunteers for their never-ending enthusiasm for the entire evening.

Photos of House Choir can be found on the Terrace Image Library.

Terrace Chess – Round 2

With over 40 boys playing for GT, the Brisbane State High School team had strength in depth as they have for years now. While our Open D team won and the C and E teams drew, Friday belonged to the State High teams from Premier to Open H. The boys did their best and appreciated the challenge. Good luck for Round 3 at Brisbane Boys’ College this week.
