HOUSE MUSIC FESTIVAL

After being held three years in a row during school hours with only students, the House Music Festival took place on the evening of Wednesday 22 March in the School Hall in front of an incredibly enthusiastic crowd of family and friends. This has been the major focus of the students throughout this term, with rehearsals taking place before school, after school and during lunchtime every day since the beginning of February. The level of support for the students was amazing, as was the standard.

Thank you to our judge Matt Little for his amazing and enthusiastic support of the students and their work.

A huge thank you to Katarina Vrisk for her great organisation of this event, and together with the amazing House Music Captains and the rest of the music teachers, created an extraordinary show. Thank you to Nick Xanthoudakis and his fantastic team who coordinated the Audio Visual and filming of the event.

Congratulations to all the House Captains for their amazing work throughout the term and through the show. Whilst there could only be one winner, we are incredibly impressed with the standard that was brought to the show. 

Thank you also to Lucy Angell and Brock Lynch, who stepped up to the emcee microphone in my absence, and really got the atmosphere buzzing.

Congratulations to MONASH for their incredible win for 2023! Visit our website for more photos.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Congratulations to the Senior Stage Band who performed brilliantly at the General Assembly on Tuesday 21 March. Performing the National Anthem with the Stage Band vocalist - Jodie Silberthau (Year 12), set the tone for the upcoming assembly. They then performed two fantastic musical items: Attitude Adjustment composed by Larry Barton, and I Saw Her Standing There - Words and Music by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, arranged by Larry Norred. Thank you to Dmitry Serebrianik for his ongoing work in developing this group.

MTC AMBASSADOR

Congratulations to Yasmeen Kotliarski (Year 11), who has been accepted into the highly competitive Ambassadors Program for 2023 at Melbourne Theatre Company. Yasmeen will be visiting MTC throughout the year with other Year 11 students from all over Victoria. They will see the 2023 season of shows, meet creatives and get to tour behind-the-scenes in performance, rehearsal and design spaces. We can't wait to hear more about her experience.
