Congratulations to all of the HSC Drama students and to Ms Gudgeon for her work with preparing the students. It was an amazing showcase of talent!

HSC Music Evenings

On Monday 8 September, students who are completing the Music 1 course performed 2 of their pieces from their HSC Program and on Tuesday 9 September, the Music 2 and Extension students presented their full programs. This was a great opportunity for parents to see the works of their children come together with their accompanists and ensembles.

Dance Excursion to Sydney

Earlier in the term, the students in the Secondary Dance Academy travelled to Sydney for an incredible few days of dance and performance experiences.

Students trained with Legs On The Wall, exploring aerial skills, partner work, and storytelling through movement. They also worked with choreographer Sarah Boulten at Ev and Bow dance school, gaining insight into full-time training.

The trip wrapped up with seeing Cats the Musical, a brilliant was to end 3 days of learning, inspiration and team bonding.

Thank you to Ms Hannah Johnson and Mrs Rachel Caesar for organising this amazing opportunity for our Secondary Dance Academy students.
