Year 11 Entertainment students completed their work placement at The Skilled Creative learning how to put together a podcast which was aired. The boys spent five days at the newly acquired studios in Tuggerah and were able to use state of the art audio equipment to complete this task.
Rehearsals throughout Term 4 have been taking place for the Combined Carols Event, the Performing Arts Evening, Year 7-11 Practical Assessments, The Academic Awards Ceremonies and preparation for next year’s Opening Liturgy.
A group of Year 9 Music and Drama students worked tirelessly under the expert guidance of Ms Atayde on a scene from “Grease” including expert choreography, acting and vocals to bring to life “Greased Lightning” for our annual Performing Arts concert “One Night in November”.
“One Night in November” was held in the Theatre on 25 November and was an incredible celebration of the remarkable talent within our student body. From breathtaking solo and ensemble performances to captivating drama monologues, the evening highlighted the hard work, creativity, dedication and joy of our students. The concert was a true testament to the artistic spirit thriving within our school, and it was made possible by the unwavering support of our parents and the commitment of our staff. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the parents, families and teachers who attended and supported the event, as well as to the teachers and staff who contributed their time and expertise to make this night a resounding success. Your encouragement and dedication are greatly appreciated!
This was also a big event for the Entertainment students who crewed their first big production, displaying great teamwork. As part of the technical crew, they played a vital role behind the scenes, ensuring everything ran smoothly from lighting and sound to stage management. For many of these students, this event marked their first opportunity to work on a large-scale production, and they rose to the challenge with impressive skill and dedication.
Ms Livermore was also a fantastic asset on the night proving an expert hand at capturing these performances on camera.
A wonderful group of 11 young men also worked on polishing four Christmas Carols to be performed at the inaugural Combined Carols Event that took place on Friday evening 6 December, at the College ovals. Mr Toole worked tirelessly with the boys to arrange the four pieces and Mr Kane assisted with the smooth running of the evening by working side of stage along with myself to ensure all acts were set and ready to go. The spirit of unity and celebration shone through in every performance, creating a magical atmosphere that brought our community together in a shared festive celebration. The event was truly a testament to the talent, dedication, and festive spirit of everyone involved.
