Sarabah Sessions went ahead last weekend with 7 talented students recording 7 killer tunes. A complication CD/Soundcloud link will be available once mastering has been completed. The Sunday arvo BBQ was super successful with 70 people gathering to enjoy the kids works. This workshop will go ahead again in the Summer of 2019 so get your songs together!
To our sponsors and supporters, thank you so much for your generosity, without you we would not be able to achieve our scholarship goals each year. Most importantly the students, I hope everyone appreciates the hard work and endless hours of practice that went in to those talented performances, wonderful artworks and makeup.

Our drama students enjoyed an outing to the Playhouse at Queensland Performing Arts Centre on Friday 17th of February. The Queensland Theatre production, Black is the New White by Nakkiah Lui is a contemporary comedy, and examines issues including identity, race, class and family. It was great to see students immensely enjoying the production as evidenced by their laughter, and sometimes groans. This week there was healthy debate about which parts of the show were most effective. Drama students are now tasked with writing up their response to the show in an essay. They are currently working hard on their essays.
MIC is delighted to be a winner in the “New School” category of the 2017 Suncorp ESSI Money Challenge, earning a $500 prize for our school. The ESSI Money Challenge is a financial literacy education game that allows students to practise real life financial transactions and experience consequences in a safe, fun and challenging way.
ESSI stands for Earnings, Saving, Spending, and Investing. Our year 12 students faced tough decision making in the game as they managed their living expenses, used credit cards, applying for jobs, set up savings accounts, took out insurance and bought shares. Numerous financial literacy quizzes popped up throughout the game, earning bonus points, virtual cash, and knowledge.
Our students explored the game as part of their Management Money unit in term 3. Three of our students – Bailey, Aimee and Olivia – became particularly enthusiastic and completed all 26 weeks/rounds of the challenge; doing so mostly in their own out-of-class time. These students built up about $20,000 net worth each by the end of 26 weeks. Not bad! Pity it was only a game : ). Still, the skills all students practiced in this game will put them in good stead for their future.
