Student Voice

In Term 2, the Student Voice attended the Queensland Philanthropy Awards at the Brisbane City Hall.

The Philanthropy Awards raise awarenss of philanthropy in Queensland, honour community members and organisations who make outstanding philanthropic contributions and encourage support for charities and community organisations operating in Queensland.

To top off a great day, the students were very excited to meet St Mary’s College Old Boy and football legend, Jonathan Thurston!

In June, St Mary’s College students and staff took part in The Push Up Challenge!

The Push Up Challenge helps shine a spotlight on the number of lives lost to suicide and raise awareness of mental health.

The team recorded more than 21,000 push ups and raised in excess of $3,000.

Thank you to College Counsellor, Mrs Renee O’Sullivan for driving this campaign.

The incredibily talented students from St Mary’s College, St Saviour’s College and St Ursula’s College took the stage in April to present the musical ‘Big Fish - School Edition’.

The students performed three shows in the Edmund Rice Cultural Centre, after many months of rehearsals.

Congratulations to the cast and crew on a spectacular show, it was a swimming success!

In June, 90 St Mary’s College students participated in the Toowoomba Catholic Schools Arts Fest! We are very proud of the boys who represented the College over the three days in 12 events and workshops.

Students performed in the Combined Orchestra, Primary Music Theatre Performance “The Little Mermaid, Secondary Music Theatre Performance “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” as well as the Sing for Joy Sacred Choral Concert. Additionally, our students artworks were featured in the Student Art Show.

An incredible effort from all involved. Thank you Toowoomba Catholic Schools for organising and showcasing the many talents of our students.
