PERFORMING ARTS

PERFORMANCE SEASON IS HERE!

We are so excited to be able to present so many performances to a live audience. The capacity to be able to stretch the performing capabilities of the students in our care is so energizing.

GIGS ON THE GREEN

Congratulations to The Faces - Meirav Berger (Year 12), Harry Kollias (Year 12), Gisele Hennequin (Year 11), Jack Sweeney (Year 11), Ruben Stein-Fooks (Year 12) for their outstanding performance for the Gigs on the Green concert season on Wednesday 10 May to a highly appreciative audience. 

Thanks to Andrew Albanis for his ongoing work in developing this program further.

YEAR 12 THEATRE STUDIES PRODUCTION

Congratulations to the fantastic students from the Year 12 Theatre Studies class for their performance of Mary Zimmerman’s “The Secret in the Wings”. The level of work that the students showed in this very tightly staged choreographed show, was evident. It was clear that the students had thought through how all the fairy tales would interweave and worked to provide levels for the audience to view the work. 

Congratulations also to Lucy Angel for her work in guiding the students to this high standard of performance.
