Have you heard? Grease is the word!

Terrace and All Hallows’ have once again joined forces to put on the mega-hit – Grease the musical, which will take to the stage in May.

Starring Daniel Williams as Danny Zuko and Greta Salanitri as Sandy Dumbrowski (“you know - Sandra Dee”), this show has all the hits you remember, performed by all the characters you love and love to hate.

Rehearsals have been in full swing since the revised school term started, with a few focused days over the Christmas holidays. The students have been working hard on songs, including Grease is the Word and You’re The One That I Want (plus many others). It is shaping up to be a blast from the past that will have you singing along. There’s a lot to do three afternoons a week, these guys and gals are dipping, kicking, pirouetting and doo-wopping like it is 1959 to make sure we are putting on an A-grade performance - Miss Lynch would be so proud.

GPS Debating

With the cancellation of Round 6 against Ipswich Grammar last week, the GPS Debating focus is now for our home debates against our Blue and White fellow EREA brothers at Nudgee. We are looking forward to some spirited debates in this 'pink' themed round. Our Senior A team debate is at 6.15pm, and we would love to have a predominantly Red and Black audience.

QDU Debating

After a couple of false starts, QDU Debating finally commenced this week. Our Year 8s debated at St James College, and our Senior As debated at Terrace.

The results are as follows:

  • 8.1: Won
  • 8.2: Lost
  • 8.3: Won
  • Senior A: Won

Our Years 9 and 11 students debate tonight, and we wish them well (Year 9 at Terrace, Year 11 at AHS).

The updated QDU schedule is attached. Please ensure you use the most up to date information when preparing for your QDU debates. The QDU has also forwarded information regarding their COVID-19 Policy. Please go to the Terrace App and read their rules to ensure you are familiar with them.
