The One Day of the Year by Alan Seymour

July 4, 2022 by claire

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.

The band is in full swing at Music Camp!

June 24, 2022 by claire

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.
