VCE Recital

On October 9, the VCE Recital showcased a vibrant mix of talent with performances blending voice and violin, featuring a rich selection of Australian compositions alongside VCE syllabus pieces.

 

The evening included diverse styles, from classical masterpieces to contemporary and jazz-infused works, captivating the audience with its eclectic mix. 

 

This celebration of musical diversity not only showcased individual artistry but also emphasised the importance of creativity within the VCE curriculum.

Twilight Open Evening

The Twilight Open Evening was a wonderful celebration of musical talent, featuring an impressive lineup of performances from choirs, dance troupes and bands. 

 

The event showcased a wide variety of styles and genres, ranging from classical pieces to contemporary favourites that resonated with the audience. 

 

The stage band kicked off the evening with a lively 30-minute set of jazz standards, setting an upbeat tone that carried throughout the night.

 

Each performance brought its own unique flair, allowing attendees to experience the rich diversity of the students' artistry and passion for music. The evening was a delightful reminder of the creative spirit alive within our school community.
