LTQ Speech Contest

Best of luck to our Speech Contest participants as they head to UniSC this Sunday, 31 August, to compete against top language students from across the region. Your dedication and hard work in preparing your speeches have made us incredibly proud.

A huge thank you to our families for supporting students and making the trip to UniSC possible. Special shout-out to our incredible Language Ambassadors for generously giving up countless lunch breaks to help with rehearsals.

Secondary Japan Club – Term 3

Japan Club has been buzzing with creativity and fun again this term. From folding origami peace cranes and racing with chopsticks, to making 'rain guardians' and enjoying sweet summer parfaits, students have embraced Japanese culture with enthusiasm.

Thanks to everyone who joined in. See you next term.

It’s been a wonderful and busy week for the Music Department, with our students sharing their talents both in the community and on campus.

On Saturday evening, two of our String Quartets formed a combined ensemble and performed at the Buderim Foundation’s 21st Birthday Celebration. Well done to the students who performed and thank you to Mr Eastwood, Ms Dowdell and Ms Janiszewski for their support on the night.

On Sunday, the Bel Canto Choir, led by Mrs Bowman and accompanied by Mr Feletto, sang at the Secondary Family Chapel Service. Their renditions of When You Believe and What an Awesome God were moving contributions to a meaningful service.

Meanwhile, musical rehearsals and preparations for Forest Fest on October 24 are now well underway.

Live @ the Hangar

Throughout the past two weeks, students from Year 1 - 12 took to the stage, sharing their musical talents across a wide range of instruments, styles, and skill levels.

These concerts showcase the hard work and dedication of our students and create a supportive and inspiring environment for all involved. Whether it was a beginner’s first performance or a senior student’s polished solo, each contribution added something special to the experience.

Performing in front of an audience builds confidence, encourages resilience, and fosters a sense of achievement. It also helps students develop important life skills such as focus, discipline, and teamwork.

A huge thank you to all the students who participated - you brought energy, creativity, and heart to the stage. And of course, thank you to the parents whose encouragement with practice was essential!

We’re already looking forward to next term’s concerts - please speak to your music tutor if you'd like to sign up.

Two of our rock bands have been selected to compete in the Battle of the Bands competition next Saturday at St Andrew's Anglican College.

Congratulations to the following students:

• Corkscrew - Clark D, Dylan H, Fraser N, Alex S
• Girlypop - Braydon K, Tati Z, Mia C, Milla N, Cedar F
