Eumundi State School (ESS) music students struck gold on the 5 June at the Sunshine Coast Instrumental Fanfare festival when schools from around the region gathered at Sunshine Beach State High School for their performances. Both the Senior Band and Junior Band, comprising Yr 3-6 players of woodwind, brass and percussion were awarded gold status.
Fanfare is an initiative of the Queensland Department of Education started in 1985 to showcase students’ progress in music-making, with an emphasis on encouraging participation and promoting high levels of performance rather than competition. ESS students pulled out all the stops to play their very best, and fulfil the protocol of performing music for a public audience, thanks in great part to the dedication and hard work of instrumental music teacher Liz Druitt and her assistant Dr Matt.
The musical excitement continued the following week with a full-day workshop for beginner music students held in the school hall. A large number of ESS students were joined by students from Peregian Springs State School and their teachers for the day’s instruction. These were mainly students from Yr 3 and 4, but not exclusively as older students who have taken up a second instrument were also in attendance.
One of these, Yr 5 student Ava, has taken up the bassoon in addition to her clarinet. She enjoyed the day and said, “We practised our pieces and spiced them up for performance.” Ava was also happy because, she added, “I met with 2 other students who also play the bassoon which is quite a rare instrument.”
A number of Yr7 and 8 Band students from St Teresa's Catholic College , including several past students of ESS, also came to the workshop with their music teachers to assist the younger players. The collaboration between schools made for an energetic and cheerful vibe, and when parents and friends arrived for the showcase concert in the afternoon, the hall was packed and humming.
With 130 students now part of the instrumental music program at ESS, stay tuned for more exciting music events at the school! ... See MoreSee Less

#FirstRespondersDay is a time to honour the police officers, firefighters, paramedics and emergency personnel who step forward when communities need them most. Their work is demanding, often dangerous, and essential to protecting lives and maintaining public safety.
Minister for Police and Emergency Services and Member for Ninderry Dan Purdie MP joined Inspector John Mahony, Officer in Charge of the Northern Patrol Group in the Sunshine Coast District, at Eumundi Police Station for a morning tea marking First Responders Day. The event honoured the dedication, sacrifice and professionalism of our local first responders and recognised the vital role they play in serving the community every day.
The day is not only a celebration but also a reminder of the unpredictable situations these professionals face, from road crashes and natural disasters to medical emergencies and criminal incidents. It also highlights the importance of supporting the mental health and wellbeing of those who regularly work under intense pressure. ... See MoreSee Less
