STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
SIENNA PRIMARANO
TOP DANCER
Last year, Sienna Primarano studied Year 12 Dance as a Year 11 student. In mid-January 2025, she was invited by the VCAA to audition for Top Class 2025. Sienna was asked to perform the two solos that she choreographed for her final marks: one skill-based, and one focused on cohesive composition.
Sienna was the only student in our district to receive perfect scores on her 2024 solos – an astounding achievement on its own. She was also the only regional student to qualify for the 2025 VCAA auditions.
Sienna travelled to Melbourne at the end of January and performed, representing Sunraysia with poise, grace, and passion. However, her Top Class campaign ended after those auditions.
Regardless of that, she will always be our Top Dancer! We are so proud to have one of our own selected to contend for the honour of participating in the VCE Season of Excellence. Congratulations to Sienna on her skill, strength, and dedication to her art. We can't wait to see what she does next!
