2 Campuses – 1 Day. 21st July! JC Band Tour
On Monday, our 12 Junior College Concert Band students embarked on a two-campus tour in preparation for their upcoming performance at the Toowoomba Eisteddfod next week.
While they’re used to rehearsing and performing alongside our Stephen Street students, today was a real-world test of independence without the older students to guide them, and they stepped up with confidence and maturity. Proving that age is no barrier when you are passionate about something!
Our Junior Campus students successfully navigated:
• Out-of-routine drop-offs
• Sound checks
• Full stage setups and pack-downs
• Transfers between campuses
• And performing in two completely different venues in front of large audiences!
They were challenged and learned valuable lessons in organisation, teamwork, and performing under pressure. Our students rose to every challenge, adapting to each environment with focus and professionalism.
We are incredibly proud of their efforts and can’t wait to see them shine at the Eisteddfod next week!

Kokoda Challenge
This weekend, we had our Kokoda Challenge event, which was a great success. Once again, I am amazed by the strength, resilience, and grit displayed by our students. Our teams started early Saturday morning, arriving at 6 a.m. for a 7 a.m. start, to walk a continuous 96 km throughout the night. Parents were fantastic, providing food, comfort, and encouragement. By the end, we all became excellent strappers!
Cold and Flu Season
Winter is Influenza season.
If your child is exhibiting cold and flu symptoms, please keep them at home until they have no symptoms. Please advise the College if your child tests positive for Influenza A, B or Covid.
