Dear Parents, Caregivers,

We have been advised by GCCC that work will be undertaken on the Board Walk that runs behind our southern boundary over the holidays. In addition, there are substantial maintenance works happening on the school grounds over the holidays and the school will be closed (with the exception of the Saturday markets).

Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show visit





Recently the Year 12 Aquatic Practices students attended the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show to explore the world of boating and marine careers associated with the marine industry. Students enjoyed the awesome display of boats from tinnies up to multimillion-dollar super yachts. We were given a demonstration of how cook and eat chilli oysters from local fishing/weather expert Paul Burt which many of the students tried for the first time with mixed reactions. Students took time to engage with many experts in the marine industry about a possible career in the industry when they complete school. All students agreed that the day was an awesome experience.

The Hot Potato Band are a national big band treasure. With instruments ranging from the sousaphone to a microphone-alternate megaphone, the band has performed at various venues and festivals across the country. On Monday 6 June, PBC was lucky enough to receive a visit from the band. Their flash-mob style entrance into the Q block Theatre didn’t fail to impress, and perhaps inspired some of us to incorporate it into future performances. Stage Band 1 and 2 members participated in a workshop with the crew, virtually sight-reading their original song ‘Mystery Man’. We then performed this alongside the band, in front of Instrumental Music and Music Excellence students and staff. Not only were we inspired to bust a few ‘hot potato’ moves, but 10 students practiced their improvising skills, soloing in front of our own peers.





Two weeks later, we had another performance opportunity for the Gala Day and the Sunset Soiree here at PBC. A group of selected Music Excellence musicians acted as buskers for Open Day, our string players did a fabulous job welcoming the guests to the evening event, and the woodwind quartet continued the music whilst alumni students were reuniting with their peers.
Overall, our experiences this term have almost entirely made up for the two interrupted years of no performances.
