2018 Production

Over 200 students attended the first meeting for the 2018 Production and the show has now been cast. It takes a lot of courage to audition; congratulations to all our talented students who gave it a go. Rehearsals for the choruses and the main actors start the week beginning Monday February 19.  There is a group audition for all dancers on Thursday February 22 in the GMR after school until 4pm. The myNorthcoteHigh Production page has all the answers to any questions and if not, please feel free to email Jackie Brogan on brogan.jacqueline.j@edumail.vic.gov.au

Unique musical opportunity

Josh Dulfer, Year 11, plays in the Melbourne Youth Orchestra. 

This Orchestra is recognised as one of Australia’s leading youth orchestras, with many of the members advancing to professional careers. Last Thursday evening one of our music students, Josh Dulfer, participated in a 30 minute private workshop with Peter Ellefson who is the principal trombone player at the Chicago symphony orchestra. It was an extremely beneficial experience and a unique opportunity. Josh has gained some valuable advice and learned much more about the steps he will undertake to further his musical career.
