Congratulations to all of the Year 12 Performing Arts students who shared their works at Seen Yas On Show on Thursday 24 July.
The evening was a wonderful showcase of talent not only in the Performing Arts but also Visual Arts, Textiles, Industrial Technology, and English Extension 2.
Thank you in particular to our HSC teachers who assisted with the preparation of the student works and a massive thank you to Ms Baldwin and the Year 11 Entertainment students who made the event seamless with their backstage work, sound and lighting.
Thank you to Matthew Healy who performed guitar at the welcoming ceremony for the Japanese exchange students on Monday 28 July.
On Monday 28 July, the HSC Dance students presented their Core Performances, Core Compositions and Major Works to an audience of family, friends and staff in the Dance Studio.
The students did an amazing job and showcased a broad range of talent throughout the evening.
NESA will be onsite on Monday 18 August to assess their Major Works and we wish them well for their final preparations.
Please note that Bishops Blend will be closed on that day to accommodate these exams.
