Grin and Tonic Collab

Today we had the theatre company Grin and Tonic come out to work with the Year 9/10 Drama class as well as do a performance for the Senior English classes.

Engaging with professional theatre companies is always a treat and the students gain so much out of the experience.

Musical

Thank you to everyone who filled out the expression of interest! It’s so great to see so many people are so excited about being part of our Musical this year! We are currently completing the eligibility to checks and information about auditions will come out soon.

A reminder that if you have signed up for chorus there is no need to audition.

CECP

We would like to formally welcome our guitar tutor for 2025 Mr Sam Hilder. Here is a short blurb from Mr Hilder to introduce himself.

Hello OLSCC,

My name is Sam Hilder, and I am excited to announce that I will be your new guitar tutor for 2025. 

I am originally from Toowoomba, and moved back home last year as it is a great place to raise a family. Prior to that I spent the past eight years living in the United States, playing guitar full-time on the Las Vegas Strip. During my time there I held the guitar chair for multiple production shows, most notably 'Vegas! The Show' which been running for fifteen years. I also worked on Royal Carribean Cruise Lines for six years, playing guitar in the ship's theatre orchestra, which gave me the opportunity to travel the world. I have been to 58 countries because of it!

Since moving home, I have joined the Australian Elvis Band, The Fibonacci Band and I am excited to be a part of the upcoming Empire Theatre's production this year, 'Come From Away'.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you all, and help you grow on your musical journey! 

With the introduction of Mr Hilder we have been able to commence our first lessons this week which has been great to see the students engaged!

Just a reminder if you have not completed the agreement that was emailed, please do so as soon as possible or your student may not be able to continue their lessons until it has been done.
