Musos At The Mallard
Last Monday we were treated to an amazing performance from our Year 11/12 Music Students who took over The Spotted Mallard in Sydney Road, Brunswick. Across two hours, students presented some of the repertoire they are preparing for their end of year examinations. Thanks to Mr Nicholas Frampton and Ms Stephanie Pace, their Music teachers. Also to Mrs Jenny Lilley and the VCAL students who undertook hospitality duties for the night. It is likely to become one of the highlight Music events of the year if this first show is anything to go by.
VCE Stagecraft Night
Our fifteen Year 12 Theatre Studies students presented their Stagecraft Examination work to an appreciative audience of family, friends and fellow students. This night is an essential part of their preparation for the Stagecraft Exam which is worth 25% of their Theatre Studies mark. Students now have two weeks to further refine their performances before facing the assessment panel on Wednesday 10 October. We wish them well.
Fairview Concert
The two Fairview Concerts held this week were, as always, joyous occasions and encouraged such confidence in the students. Thanks to the Performing Arts staff and students who supported the Prep to Year 2 students in their preparation and performance, in particular, their classroom teachers, as well as Ms Beth Thomson and Ms Stephanie Pace.
