Performing Arts

On Wednesday August 18th, the annual “College Showcase” event took place in the Crate Theatre. This event is purely voluntary on the part of the performers. It was a great night, which showed the talent and versatility in the College. We would like to congratulate Joshua Machuca, Laura Venuto, Chelsea Garlito, David Maney, Carine Taylor, Lucille Netto, Faith Nguyen, Nicole Causing, Stella Causing and Natalie Mikic on their performances on the evening. It was lovely to see such high quality acoustic performances. Thank yous also go out to the Technical Production students who helped on the night and Belinda in the bakery for catering. Events like this would not happen without all the people behind the scenes.

Please join us in the Crate Theatre to showcase our Dance and Music students at the end of this term. The year 1 Music class is looking forward to revisiting their favourite songs on Wednesday September 7th. The annual DANCE SHOWCASE is always a great night and is a fantastic way for students to not only show off their hard work but to prepare for exams.

TICKETS AVAILABLE for both events at the Performing Arts and Bradman Cluster offices.
