Mamma Mia! Reunion

 The Mamma Mia! cast and crew have reunited - to watch the performance on the big screen and receive their copy of our production book.

Students received participation certificates, special certificates recognising memorable moments, and awards for our Term 1 challenge winners. They also received their memory books—a treasured keepsake capturing the friendships, achievements and experiences shared by our cast and crew.

The afternoon was filled with laughter, pride and reflection, reminding us that the impact of a successful school production continues long after the final curtain.

Thank you to the staff who attended the reunion and to everyone who supported Mamma Mia! throughout its journey. 

We are so proud of what our students achieved and cannot wait to see what the future holds for Performing Arts at St George’s!

Year 10 Dance

Our Year 10 Dance students have been busy developing their original solos, building on their recent successful presentations of contemporary technique and a contemporary routine.

Students are now putting their choreographic skills into practice, exploring movement ideas and making creative choices to shape their individual pieces. Their Dance journals support this process, providing a space to document ideas, reflect on rehearsals and refine their choreography.

Throughout the process, students will also collaborate on lighting and costume design, considering how these elements can communicate their intentions and enhance their performances. We look forward to seeing their creativity come to life as their solos develop!

Year 11 OnStage Showcase

The Year 11 OnStage Showcase was a wonderful celebration of creativity, talent, and dedication, with students presenting performance pieces they have developed throughout Units 1 and 2 of their Drama and Dance courses.

The evening featured a range of engaging and expressive performances that highlighted the students’ growth as performers and artists. Drama students Ellie, Annabelle, and Lorelei captivated the audience with their confidence, stage presence, and storytelling skills, demonstrating the techniques and knowledge they have developed throughout the year. Adding to the professionalism of the event, our APEX Drama Students, Indi and Darcey took on the role of MCs, guiding the audience through the program and introducing each performance with enthusiasm and poise.

Dance students Scarlett, Emma, Milla, Lilly, Edie, and Lorelei showcased their hard work through a collection of dynamic and polished routines. Their performances reflected the technical skills, creativity, and expressive qualities explored in class, with each dancer bringing energy and commitment to the stage.

The showcase provided students with the valuable opportunity to perform before an audience and share the results of months of learning, rehearsal, and collaboration. It was a fantastic evening that celebrated not only their artistic achievements but also the confidence, perseverance, and passion they have developed throughout their studies.

Congratulations to all involved for delivering an entertaining and memorable performance, and for representing the Drama and Dance programs with such pride and professionalism.

AngliSchools Band Day

Our AngliSchools Concert Band Day, held at Frederick Irwin Anglican School, was a great success. Students enjoyed the opportunity to rehearse and perform alongside musicians from other AngliSchools, developing their ensemble skills and celebrating their shared passion for music. Many thanks to Mr Draber and Mr Charleson for accompanying our students to this event.

A fond farewell

We also farewelled our Year 12 students at the recent Valedictory ceremony. Our Concert Band and St George’s Voices provided the musical accompaniment, delivering beautiful performances that added something very special to this significant event. We congratulate our graduating musicians and thank them for their contributions to the music program. We wish them every success as they begin their next chapter.

Upcoming performances

Looking ahead, our major upcoming event is City Sounds. This will be held at Perth Town Hall on Friday November 6 at 6.00pm. This concert will showcase the incredible breadth of talent within our music program, featuring Jazz Ensemble, Concert Band, St George’s Voices, Brassterminds, rock bands, vocal and instrumental soloists. It promises to be a fantastic celebration of our students’ hard work, creativity and music achievements.

Later this term, our musicians will also participate in the annual AngliSchools Choral Evensong at St George’s Cathedral on Saturday November 21. We will also be back at the Cathedral the following week for the Service of Lessons and Carols on Friday November 27. These special occasions are free events and provide opportunities for our students to share their music gifts with the wider community and bring the year to a meaningful close. We hope to see many of our students and families in attendance.
