Representing a variety of year levels, our students took on a number of roles which included:
The students committed to 2.5 days of rehearsals and performances, and were praised for their attitude, spirit, and behaviour by the event organisers. A special thank you to Ms Jacqui Sina, and Mrs Christine Flint who gave up their weekends to support the students and provide them with this unique opportunity. Commonwealth Games Teams will converge on Somerset College for training camps in March 2018.

Awards were presented to students who have shown commitment and demonstrated improvements in their singing lessons throughout the year, of course we would love to give an award to every singing student as they were all amazing on the night.
We look forward to a fabulous year of singing in 2018.

Parents of younger students are more than welcome to visit the KIP and borrow on behalf of their children. We are open Monday to Friday, 8.00am to 5.00pm. We love recommending great books if you need some help choosing, or older readers can check out the ‘Recommended Reads’ displays for inspiration.
If you are heading overseas and are mindful of space and weight, eBooks are the perfect travelling companion. We have a large selection in our library, suitable for all ages, interests and reading levels. For more information and a step-by-step guide to getting stared, visit the eBooks page on the Library Website.
If our eBook collection doesn’t have what you’re looking for, there is a good change that Gold Coast City Libraries do. They also have a huge selection on Audiobooks, great for long drives or longer flights. Membership to the GCCC Library service is free and children of all ages can get their own library card.
Please feel free to pop into the KIP if you need any help at all getting setting up with eBooks or Audiobooks.
Holidays are the perfect time to relax, unwind and escape with a great story. We hope you all have a wonderful break and we will see you back at school in 2018!
Next week is House swimming trials. Please wear Somerset College swimming attire.

Tuesday mornings were the worse, everyone had to get up at 6.00am to get to training by 7.00am.
Mrs McKenna was our coach, she was there with us every step of the way making us play to our full potential. We wouldn’t have come us far as we did without her. Year 9 Touch was such an experience and I couldn’t have asked for a better team!
