PERFORMING ARTS
THAT’S A WRAP
Many performances have taken place during term two: East Campus Concert, String night, VCE Performance night, Conference of the birds-drama, Vocal Masterclass with Elena Xanthoudakis, Senior Ensembles concert, Stringfest 24’, Sounds on the grounds, Assemblies and more.
The Performing Arts Faculty - Classroom Music, Instrumental Music and Drama have nurtured and supported our students to enable them to display their artistic talents throughout the term.
Students engaged with a diverse range of musical genres, learnt fundamental and advanced techniques on their chosen instruments, and explored cultural and historical contexts during the process. The progress made by each student has been impressive, reflecting dedication, drive and passion for the Performing Arts.
I would like to thank the Instrumental music staff, music and drama teachers and support staff for continually striving for personal excellence. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication. To the many students who have worked very hard during the term, have a great holiday break, and thank you for your work this term.
