Community News
On Saturday evening, the College Big Band performed at the Jazz Under the Stars event, hosted by Toowoomba Anglican School. This fabulous and relaxed afternoon of music featured performances from the local Cool Nights Big Band, alongside several school ensembles from across the region. Despite high winds moving the event indoors this year, the non-competitive atmosphere created an enjoyable and inspiring afternoon. Families relaxed and enjoyed a BBQ while taking in the fantastic performances.
We are incredibly proud of our students for representing the College with enthusiasm and professionalism. Events like this offer valuable opportunities to further develop their musical craft—and their commitment to doing so on a weekend is truly commendable. Numerous audience members sought out our proud conductor, Christina Marangelli, to compliment the band’s performance. They were especially impressed by the group’s strong sound and the ability of each individual musician to confidently carry their part.
Traffic Update - SSC Stephen Street Entrance (Term 4)
With the commencement of Term 4, please be aware of the changes made to the Stephen Street entrance.
As you would be aware, the driveway narrows slightly when you pass through the brick gates. This can lead to a buildup of vehicles entering SSC from Stephen Street. To help maintain a smooth flow of traffic, vehicles exiting the College grounds will now be required to give way to those entering. To facilitate the work, this entry will be closed on Friday, 26 September, and access to SSC will be available only via the South Street entrance. Please see attached photos for the upcoming changes.
Overdue Library Books
Students at all campuses will receive long overdue library book notes this week. Junior campuses will receive paper versions and SSC students will have theirs emailed to them.
Could parents and caregivers please remind students to check their emails and overdue slips and return any books that are on them. Books at the junior campuses can be returned to reception if they can't access the library.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

JC Oktoberfest Raffle
We are excitedly preparing for the upcoming Oktoberfest event scheduled for Saturday, 25 October, from 4pm to 8pm. This event aims not only to raise funds for the college but also to provide an opportunity for the college community to come together again.
For this event, we are organising a raffle, with each Year Level putting together a hamper with a particular theme.

JC Student Illness
As we move through to the end of Term 3, we kindly remind families of the importance of keeping children at home when they are unwell. Even mild symptoms such as coughs, colds, or upset stomachs can spread quickly through classrooms, impacting the health and learning of other students and staff. Allowing your child the time to rest and recover not only supports their own wellbeing but also helps us maintain a healthy and safe environment for all children at school. We greatly appreciate your support in caring for our whole community.
