munity and the hospital and is focused on improving the experience of anyone using our hospital's services.

Encouragingly 2022/2023 has seen the SCCC focused on three challenges each of which have seen significant progress. 1) The challenge of transport both locally and to Toowoomba and Brisbane has led to funding for additional community transport. 2) Needs around Mental Health has seen the creation of a Mental health group which work directly with the Warwick hospital who control mental health services at Stanthorpe. 3) The SCCC has had signifi- cant success increasing awareness of the services offered at the Stanthorpe hospital and promote visiting health service such as the Heart Bus and mobile breast screen. This model of establishing a few tight goals and then scoring has proved effective and the SCCC plans to continue to use this model.

So, if you are keen to help identify the next set of goals and work towards resolving them the good news is the SCCC is looking for new members! If you are interested, please contact SCCC Chairperson, Jennifer Leigh, manager@communityds. org.au or 0437 199 830by 30th June, 2023.

The School of Total Education (SOTE) in Warwick presented colourful musical works on June 9 and 10 in their main auditorium.

Beginning with "Cookie Soiree", animated Girl Scout characters foiled the troublemakers who hoped to get away with more than cookies.

Then, "On Your Mark!" was a re-imagining of the Aesop Fable 'The Tortoise and the Hare’ in a short, dramatic comedy with sets and costumes adding colourful imaginings.

Finally, "Finding the Words" featured a rehearsal and where the lead actor wasn't able to recall the appropriate lines of the performance ahead.

All cast members then danced and sang to "This is Me" - the theme of the musical spectacle.

SOTE Principal Shane Power praised the students, teachers and wider school community who assisted in the talented endeavour, openly saying that they all "showed great confidence" in being able to perform to a considerably-sized audience.

The presentations were a combination of efforts from secondary school students while the primary schoolers enjoyed the dress rehearsal on the Friday prior to opening night.

The Directorship of SOTE's presentations were a collaborative effort of the staff particularly, headed by Music Director, Sam Robinson.
