Congratulations to Our State Honours Ensemble Participants!
We are proud to congratulate four Ironside students who were selected to participate in the SHEP Southeast Queensland Ensemble Program over the weekend.
These talented students dedicated part of their school holidays to an intensive music experience, rehearsing for up to eight hours a day alongside students from across Brisbane Metro, the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, and Darling Downs. The program concluded with a spectacular concert performance.
A big well done and thank you to our students for their hard work and for proudly representing Ironside at this prestigious event:
- Daisy C – Violin
- Frank C – Cello
- Sophia Van Den Bos – Cello
- Kai Miyagi – French Horn
We are so proud of your commitment and musical excellence!
