So what is it like to play with a professional orchestra, actually the State’s premier orchestra, the Queensland Symphony Orchestra?
You could ask this question of Declan Roberts or Sam Stevenson. Both Declan and Sam were chosen, after auditioning for Natalia Raspopova, to have the opportunity to perform as part of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra in their Gold Coast Concert – QSO Plays the Firebird. Declan (on tuba) and Sam (on violin) spent time prior to the performance in mentoring sessions with principal players from the orchestra and in rehearsal with the orchestra. The boys were involved in the performance of Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain under conductor Daniel Kossov.
Congratulations and well done Declan and Sam.

In Term Three, Year 7s were kindly donated a range of seedlings from the Southern Beaches Community Garden (SBCG) at Tugun. We linked this to our learning in Science about taking care of our planet through renewable and non-renewable resources.
Students Marcus Ibsen and Nick Tan eagerly joined Mrs Leslie and Mr O’Brien recently, on an insightful trip to the University of Queensland. Here, Kydra Walden, our 2018 College Captain and now first-year engineering student, provided us with an opportunity to explore the creative spaces and engineering labs that UQ has to offer.
