Griffith University’s State Honours Ensemble Program

Over the holidays, three of our senior students were invited to take part in Griffith University’s State Honours Ensemble Program (SHEP). With many cultural events postponed or cancelled throughout 2020, the competition for positions was fierce in this elite program! Year 11 student Kate Monroe and Year 10 students Charles and Sebastian Box were honoured to participate in 2020 SHEP.

The four day program took place at the Conservatory of Music in Brisbane and involved highly accomplished, school aged musicians from all over Queensland. This year, students were under the baton of some of the finest Australian conductors. Despite the gruelling rehearsal schedule, all three students returned with a fresh enthusiasm for their instrument and a selection of new skills to share with their peers. Well done to Kate, Charles and Sebastian on representing the College so well!
