Carnivale……Celebrating Culture, Community, and Creativity

The carnival atmosphere was clearly evident throughout our Cultural Festival, with students and staff enjoying the festival food and activities at the end of such a busy term.

The House Battles at the end of the day featured energetic involvement of students and their teachers in telling stories through song, dance, acting, and special effects. House spirit was well and truly visible.

Our showcase concert featured some highlight performances from our Cultural Festival heats throughout the past term: Chelsea O’Bryan, Maggie Roche, Sneha Reju, and Anna and Therese DeBellis.

Many thanks go to staff and students who made the day so successful. I especially would like to thank the Cultural Committee and their leader, Cultural Captain Anna DeBellis.
