Culture
All students are encouraged to participate in the College's cultural activities. Participation in cultural competitions provides a wide range of experiences for students and opportunities for high levels of competition including state and national representation for elite performers.
Involvement in inter-house and interschool debating and public speaking is strongly encouraged. Students have very successfully competed in the Lions Youth of the Year and QDU and Sunshine Coast debating competitions.
Increasing opportunities for excellence in music occurs through participation in ensembles, choirs or bands and performing for the College community.
Biannually, the College stages a musical and, on the alternate year, a major drama production. Participation in College drama and musical productions develops self-esteem and confidence as well as expands personal horizons. A variety of talent shines through the inter-house Lime Light competition each year.

Students can join various music performance groups including the orchestra, concert band, string ensemble, jazz ensemble, wind ensemble, percussion ensemble, guitar ensemble, chapel band and choirs.
Public performances of various ensemble groups and the concert band have been outstanding. Private instrumental lessons build on experience students have gained through the Year 3 and 4 string program and the Year 5 and 6 concert band program.
