Mulkadee

Mulkadee 2022 is back and we invite you to venture with us Into the Unknown.

This year Mulkadee will be a variety show format and will also have an added element of audio-visual allowing Townsville Catholic Education to showcase the incredible talent in our diocese. This filmed component of the show not only allows for an exciting new dimension to the Mulkadee format, it also allows students from regional areas or senior students the opportunity to participate in the show, if they are unable to attend the full week of Mulkadee.

Held from Monday 18 to Friday 22 July 2022, Mulkadee provides a unique experience for students to learn from industry experts and culminates in a performance to a sell-out crowd of family and friends at the Townsville Entertainment and Convention Centre on Friday 22 July.

Workshop Presenters

Band: Wyana O’Keefe
Guitar: Andrew Veivers
Strings: Stephen Frewen-Lord
Drama: TheatreiNQ
Dance: DanceNorth
Choir: Rachel Cairns
