PERFORMING ARTS

FAREWELL

We are saddened to say goodbye to the fabulous Colleen Wurfel, who is leaving us at the end of term to travel and perform at various destinations around the world. It has been amazing to have Colleen part of the Instrumental Music team, enthusiastically teaching the trombone students, and being part of the Junior Stage Band.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Congratulations again to the Monash Instrumental group who performed an MJ medley at the last General Assembly on Friday 21 March. Congratulations and thank you also to JJ Braithwaite (Year 12) and Sabrina Vitiello (Year 11) who performed the National Anthem.

YEAR 12 THEATRE STUDIES: CLUE

Congratulations to the fabulous Theatre Studies class who performed an amazing performance of Clue, a thrilling theatrical adaptation of the beloved board game Cluedo!

The standard of performance and the level of development of the production was incredibly high. A huge thank you to the MAV team for their work with the students and to their wonderful teacher Ellie Adler, for all of her work with these students.
