The Music Department has welcomed Ms Maxine Hetherington to the College this term. Ms Hetherington is looking after the Year 4 - 7 Music classes and has been busily preparing the classes for our Carols night in November. The event is shaping up to be an absolutely terrific night and we are looking forward to welcoming our College community for some Christmas Carols.

On Friday night the College Contemporary Vocal group performed at the 'Reclaim the Night' event in Thomas Jack Park which is designed to raise awareness of domestic violence. Our students performed a great selection of modern songs and the audience was very responsive to them. Congratulations and a huge thank you to these students and their parents who carted equipment and helped with setting up. Every great group needs a brilliant group of 'roadies'. On Friday night, 8 November, they will perform again at the annual Anglican Parish dinner. 

The Early Years classes will be participating in the annual 'Music: Count Us In' event which is Australia's largest school initiative working with partners around the country to support Music in schools. Our students will join with students from Dalby Central School to sing 'We Are' which will be sung at the same time on the same day as all registered schools across Australia.  A great big 'thank you' to Mrs Garside for all her hard work in preparing these students for the event.

The Year 7/8 Drama students are busily preparing their performances for assessment. This term they have had Ms Maree Canavan guiding them through their learning process and the Cultural and Arts Department welcome her to our team for this term. Ms Canavan reports that they are going to have some exciting performances and that the students have enjoyed choosing and creating fantastic costumes.
