Trophy Boys
It is the biggest night in the academic calendar, the Grand Finale of the Year 12 Interschool Debating Tournament. The boys from the elite St Imperium College are locked in a classroom for their short debate prep, forced to argue 'that feminism has failed women'.But what begins as a riotously funny satire on insecure adolescent masculinity and the ego of Australia's next generation of politicians quickly turns sour.Melt Festival is proudly sponsored by Brisbane City Council.

The Australian Remembrance Army: Caring for military graves
They served. They sacrificed. Their identities and stories should not be lost.In the lead up to Remembrance Day, we invite you to join us at Anzac Square on Sunday 8 November for a free and informative talk exploring the important work of the Australian Remembrance Army (ARA). Special guest speakers Cate Walker and Katrina Trevethan, the founders of ARA, will speak about their voluntary work and efforts to mark the unmarked graves of Australian Defence Force veterans.Cate and Katrina will share the story behind the Australian Remembrance Army, explain why so many veterans are buried without official markers, and discuss the research and practical work involved in identifying and commemorating them. Their voluntary work has involved extensive cemetery research, mainly at Lutwyche Cemetery, where approximately 900 previously unmarked First World War veterans' graves have been marked with a commemorative plaque between 2021 and 2026. At Toowong Cemetery, initial work is underway to mark another 120 unmarked First World War veterans' graves.At its heart, this is a talk about remembrance, community service, and making sure the identities and stories of those who served are not lost.After the talk, visitors can stay to explore the Memorial Galleries - embarking on an interactive journey from the First World War to today, before taking time to reflect on the remarkable stories of bravery and sacrifice in the tranquil parklands.Location: Anzac Square Memorial Galleries is located at 285 Ann Street, Brisbane. Entry is through the double brass doors located beneath the Shrine of Remembrance.
