Junior School Concert 2021

Roll Up Roll Up The Circus Is Coming To Town…and it certainly did on the night of the 18th May at the Besen Centre in Burwood. The Junior School concert day had finally arrived! A group of very excited Foundation students boarded the bus on Tuesday morning to take to the stage and practise their singing, dance moves and actions before the big night. The students soaked up the new environment and experienced being backstage and the limelight of the stage. Testing testing ONE TWO THREE…

Returning that evening, the atmosphere of the audience was compelling! Backstage there were bright, fun and shiny costumes, stage props and colourful lights in amongst the nervous energy of the performers! The Foundation performance songs were fun, energetic and had the crowd clapping, tapping and cheering loudly. The Year 1 and 2 students followed the Foundation performances with an intriguing display of circus skills, with Foundation students watching from the balcony. What a fascinating night! 

From the bus trip to the buzz on the evening, the concert was a huge success. We were so fortunate to be led by our Performing Arts leader Llaaneath Poor. Thank you to Lydia Lai and Leanne Lee for accompanying us on the bus and at the Besen Centre for the rehearsal. And a BIG thank you to all of our Foundation families who supported our students to prepare, practise and be part of the fabulous evening. There were many tired eyes the following day but the students were still buzzing as we reflected and shared our experiences of the performance!
