When: Tuesdays, 3:30-4:30pm

Where: Art rooms

Who: All students welcome

Come along and be part of the team bringing the musical together.

Jazz Night Wrap‑Up

Our recent Jazz Night was a great success, with outstanding performances from our students, including some fantastic soloists throughout the evening. The audience was also treated to an excellent performance by our guest artists, Unladylike Big Band.

Thank you to Unladylike Big Band, Dr Andrew Butt, Dr Jamie Kennedy, and Ms Janelle Lee Long for their support and contribution to the event. Special thanks also to Enrico Le Mura and Matthew Sorensen, who facilitated our Audio Club in completing a live recording of the performance.

Congratulations to all involved in making the night such a success.

The Year 5 students proudly presented two performances of their musical Dig It on Thursday 30 April. This marked their debut performance at the College, and they delivered the show with impressive energy, confidence and excitement throughout.

A huge thank you to Alison Braidwood for coordinating the performances, which is a substantial and complex task. Special thanks also to Jamie Kennedy for donning his skeleton suit and stepping into the lead role of Bruce.
