Performing Arts update

Recently our Drama students have been out and about in Melbourne, seeing some of the great live theatre on offer. Ms Holden and the Year 8 Theatre Production class were lucky enough to see a matinee performance of ‘& Juliet’ at the Regent Theatre. Ms Juers and the VCE Drama class travelled to the Recital Centre to see VCE Drama Top Class, which is a collection of the best VCE Drama performances in 2022. I would like to thank both Ms Holden and Ms Juers for organising these excursions for our students. Last week, we also saw the first of our concert practices; these are informal lunchtime concerts to give our students an opportunity to perform in front of each other. Thank you to Ms Pisani for accompanying the students on the day.
