A musical adventure
Over three nights in May, the Edmund Rice Theatre at Waterford
Place transformed into the jungles of deepest Madagascar!
Terrace’s bi-annual Middle College musical followed the
adventures of Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe
and Gloria the Hippo as they escaped from the comfort of
Central Park Zoo and through a serious of misadventures found
themselves hobnobbing with King Julien and the lemurs in the
wilds of Madagascar.
Through their work with our specialist choreographers and
movement coaches, voice specialists and acting coaches, the
45 students transformed before our eyes into an array of lovable
and not so lovable (we are looking at you Foosa!) characters.
Madagascar Jr. left our audiences with no choice but to Move

shows loved every minute of it.
We look forward to seeing you in the audience of Joseph and His

The House Choir
Night spectacular
Every year, the most anticipated night of the Inter-House
competition occurs. This year the nine Houses battled it out
at the Pat Rafter Arena, with over 1000 students taking part
on the night. Mahoney House was the House Choir Champion
of the night with Kearney House winning the ‘People’s
Choice Award’. The audience erupted into cheers and tears
as Conor Tweedy stole the night with his performance
as part of the Kearney House act. Conor’s courage and
determination and the audience reaction to his slow dance
on stage epitomised the spirit and relationship that exists
within the Terrace Family.

of the Year 12 journey of a Terrace student. In what is
inevitably a year filled with the pressure of balancing
academic, sporting and co-curricular life, Kairos provides
an opportunity to stop and take stock of the journey
travelled and the journey ahead. Kairos asks the important
questions and helps students make commitments to
themselves and to each other.
