Children Family Community class contributes to a good cause!
Today our Year 11 Children Family Community General class is joined by Ann Viivers from Uthando Project Inc. Uthando Project Inc is a charity project dedicated to the children of Hlabisa District of KwaZulu Natal, whose lives have been severely impacted by the HIV/AIDS pandemic sweeping South Africa. Using donated resources and the help of volunteers, Uthando Project Inc. creates brown-skinned dolls to donate to the children in the community to help encourage and stimulate their social and emotional development. Our students are looking forward to contributing to such a heart-warming project!
The One Day of the Year by Alan Seymour
Well done to the Year 12 Drama students, who have worked hard for the last term to put together their production of The One Day of the Year by Alan Seymour which they performed on Friday to students and families. The students worked beyond the role of the actor with designated roles in lighting, sound, set and props, costume, publicity, and front of the house to realise this drama work. The piece explores controversial topics of the celebrations around Anzac Day and how this recognises the lives lost.
Year 7 Drama and Year 8 Dance Showcase
Well done to our lower school Arts students who performed at our very first Harrisdale Senior High School Year 7 Drama and Year 8 Dance Showcase this evening. Students performed with great energy and enthusiasm presenting their Reader’s Theatre, mime and circus skills and Hip-Hop performances that they have learnt and devised throughout Semester 1.
Congratulations on a spectacular night!
The band is in full swing at Music Camp!
We have been very blessed this morning to have a visit from Dr Paul De Cinque (Chair of Brass and Music Education) and Dr Alan Lourens (Head lecturer of Music) from the UWA Conservatorium of Music. Paul and Alan circulated through our rehearsals, stepping in to lead our wind ensembles, bestowing upon them some of his highly acclaimed knowledge and musical wisdom. Advice from industry specialists of such stature and high calibre is incredibly beneficial for our young musicians and the difference it made to their sound was instantly noticeable.
The South of The Swan Dance Showcase
Last night our talented Year 9-12 Dance students performed at The South of The Swan dance showcase, taking to the stage with confidence and pizazz, entertaining the audience from start to finish! There were a lot of proud parents and carers there to enjoy the moment alongside our dedicated Dance teachers. Well done students, you were amazing!!

Last week was National Reconciliation Week, a time to celebrate Indigenous history and culture in Australia.
