Music Notes 

Nicole Bull, Academic Dean of Performing Arts 

Welcome to Term 2

There is much to enjoy in Performing Arts in Term 2 and we are excited to be offering many great opportunities to our students. We would like to wish all best to the cast and crew of Oliver for their production on May 18 to 20.

Oliver!

Kilvington students are now on the homestretch, gearing up for the production of Oliver. The excitement and anticipation of opening night is building as students are getting ready to showcase their hard work.

Here's a glimpse through the eyes of two of our leads, Loretta Pietrosanto (Oliver) and Renae Bekas (Nancy), into what’s been happening with the show.

Loretta Pietrosanto, Year 9 and Renae Bekas, Year 12

With the Oliver production fast approaching, the students are starting to feel a build up of nerves and excitement! We’ve been busy rehearsing and have been enjoying getting to know our crew and fellow cast members.  

There is no time of the year more exciting than production time! It's so much fun getting into the creative process and delving into our characters and their motivations. 

We're so excited to bring the audience along on a thrilling journey with us later this month and can’t wait for everyone to see the hard work we've all put in. It’s going to be an amazing show! Hope to see you all there!
