25.01.2022 Father's Day Wishes | Today we pay tribute to all the fathers and father figures in the #TerraceFamily, going quietly about their most important role - Dad. Thank you for all the small and large things you do day to day, from a cooked meal to a hand with an assignment or a lift to training. The example you set of hard work, encouragement, responsibility and vulnerability is a powerful transmitter of unconditional love. We pray especially for those who cannot be with their father, and those whose fathers are no longer with them. May these students experience loving guidance from another person close to them, whose name may not be Dad, but influence just as powerful.

24.01.2022 Year 5 Mass | As students get ready to embark on the holiday season, it was a great opportunity this morning for our Year 5 young men to reflect on their first year in #RedandBlack and the many blessings of this year at a Thanksgiving Mass. Thank you to those parents and caregivers who were able to join us virtually for this very special celebration.

24.01.2022 Drama Excursion | Bravo to the College's Years 9 and 10 drama students who recently let the curtain rise on their term's work, performing on stage at the Queensland Theatre Company's Bille Brown Theatre.
