I would like to remind parents of students who completed a school based traineeship or apprecticeship that they should have received an email from Karen White of Toowoomba Catholic Schools regarding the employer thank you lunch. Parents are asked to check their inbox and RSVP for the lunch. Students should also prompt their employer to RSVP. The lunch will be held at the Dalby Leagues Club on Thursday 20 October. 

Year 12 students should be contacting me to book their pathways meeting for post Year 12. Also, if students have not completed their QTAC, they need to see me by the end of next week. 

One of our 2017 graduates, Claire Sutton has been in to visit the College as she is about to embark on an exciting new opportunity in the United States studying at the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts. Claire was the last student at the College to complete the Music Extension subject in 2017 and played the lead role in our 2017 musical 'Rock of Ages'. Claire's talent for singing was realised at a very young age and her artistic talents are about help her achieve her dreams. Claire has already completed three years of musical theatre training in Brisbane and is eager to continue expanding her skill set under the instruction of many successful Broadway actors. 

"It just goes to show that you just have to back yourself and put yourself out there. That's the only way to grow and I'm so grateful that I did it."

We wish Claire all the very best as she embarks on her new journey overseas and hope to see her on the international stages very soon.
