Current Highlights

New STEAM Centre

Work on the new STEAM and Library Centre is progressing on schedule and the size and scale of the building is starting to be felt.

This three-level state-of-the-art STEAM Centre will be a hub for learning, innovation and entrepreneurship, supported by contemporary spaces for science, robotics, systems engineering and media.

There will be casual and formal learning spaces and project collaboration areas. The School Library will also be rebuilt on the ground level.

This dedicated, innovative space will be a place for students to be inspired to follow their curiosity and potentially pursue a career in this important field.

Thank you for the Music -Mamma Mia!

In May, one of the largest ensembles to perform at a Senior School production delivered outstanding performances of Mamma Mia across three jam-packed nights.

From Opening Night, students poignantly captured the story of Donna's - a hardworking, single mum - conflict with her beloved daughter, Sophie, on her retro views on marriage and babies. This was delivered with many wonderful humorous vignettes and tied together with the unforgettable ABBA soundtrack.

Sophie Sheridan, performed by Agrata Sharma, was spellbinding as she opened each performance with, "I Have a Dream". Together with Jack Campbell-Manly as her fiance, Sky, they navigate wedding night jitters and Sophie’s existential identity crises with much-loved songs including "Lay All Your Love on Me" and "Voulez-Vous".

Renee Bekas delivered another powerful lead performance as Sophie’s mum, Donna Sheridan. Confronted with three former lovers on the eve of her daughter’s wedding, where paternity took centre stage, Renee gave an incredibly mature performance. 

Most memorable was the soulful delivery of "Slipping Through My Fingers". This author may have shed a tear or two!

Gate crashers and possible fathers, Sam Carmichael (played by Elijah Slavinskis), Bill Austin (played by Noah Emons) and Harry Bright (played by David Overton), provided intense and light moments throughout the show. Elijah’s performance of "Knowing Me, Knowing You" was exceptional. 

Noah’s duet of "Take a Chance on Me" with Zaiju Du Preez (Rosie) was hilarious. The unforgettable Elena Stuckey De la Banda as the flirtatious and cheeky Tanya reminded us of her break-out role in Matilda with her performance of "Does Your Mother Know". 

Veteran of the stage, David Overton, was utterly believable as the stuffy, yet sweet, Harry. He and Renee took us down the memory lane of summer romances with "Our Last Summer".

There were wonderful performances from Sophie’s gal pals Lisa (played by Maya Wimalesundera) and Ali (played by Joanna Mistaris) and, cheeky hotel staff, Pepper (played by Hugo Della Bosca) and Eddie (played by Amber Bowman).

A huge shoutout to the Chorus who danced and sang with energy and joy from start to finish. It was hard not to smile at those happy faces.

And a big thank you for allowing some of us to attempt some of our own dance moves, while dodging beach balls, to "Mamma Mia", "Dancing Queen" and "Waterloo" as part of the Finale.

Congratulations to students, staff and parents who contributed so much to deliver such memorable performances.
