Performing Arts 2021

It has been a busy start to the year! It is a joy to hear the sounds of music through the halls after restrictions halted rehearsals for a time last year. Rehearsals are again in full swing with preparations for Open Night under way for Senior Concert Band. 

We welcome to the Performing Arts team our new Dance/Drama teacher, Natalie Middlemast who brings with her expertise, performance skills and lots of energy! 

 

Events that have highlighted February include:

The commencement of rehearsals for Senior Concert Band, Choir, Year 8 Concert Band, Stage Band, String Orchestra and Drama club. Aerobics rehearsals are to be confirmed and 

Dance Extension runs on Thursdays at lunchtime.

Senior Theatre studies have enjoyed an excursion to the Frankston Cultural Centre to view the play “Lamb”. As part of their course, this performance will be part of their assessment. 

We look forward to an active and enjoyable year that provides our Performing Arts students opportunities to perform and develop skills in theirs chosen area.
