Parliament House Prize

Congratulations to Sanuda!

The 2019 competition received a record number of entries from 589 primary and secondary school students from 113 schools across Victoria.

Congratulations to Year 9 student, Sanuda, who received 2nd place and will be awarded a cash prize of $250 and a plaque, presented at Parliament House in September.

During sitting weeks, Members of Parliament got the opportunity to make statements on matters of interest and concern to them. Sanuda had to record a 90 seconds statement about a topic matter that they wish to bring to the attention of Parliament. 

The judges criteria was:

a sense of passion and clear thinking

engaging, creative and coherent expression

a persuasive and/or clearly articulated point of view.

Production Update 

We Will Rock You – the musical is fuelled by the classic hits of the British rock band Queen and written by Ben Elton. It tells the tale of a dystopian future, where rock music and individuality has been outlawed.  The young bohemians, led by Galileo Figaro set out to save society from the blandness of corporate music....and the Killer Queen!

Don't forget to book your tickets for WE WILL ROCK YOU!
