Performance and Instrumental News


Over the last few months, the performing arts area has been alive with many students rehearsing for the many performances and assessments. During these concerts the students have overcome nerves and risen to the occasions beautifully.

Combined Bands

Our Junior band recently travelled to Kardinia college where they attended a combined bands day.

Many thanks to Ms Doble for organizing this amazing and very productive day and to Ms Cordell for her great work with the junior band. We were very proud of their performance and we look forward to many more future performances from this growing ensemble.

Year 7 Showcase

Congratulations to Ms Caitlin Doble and her team of year seven teachers, Ms Veronica Marrie, Mr Bruce Corrin and Ms Naomi Cordell, for the marvellous year seven showcase held recently in the Potato Shed. It is certainly amazing how quickly the students have picked up their instrument and mastered a number of pieces.

We do hope that many of the year seven students continue with private lessons on their chosen instrument.

VCE Soiree

I was so proud of the VCE music students when they performed at the well known Piano Bar in Geelong. Over 110 parents and friends were entertained and well fed as the talented students showcased the works that they had been rehearsing during the semester.

Years 9/10 Music Concert

It was wonderful to see the up and coming talent of the years 9 and 10 music students when they performed to their parents and friends in the Potato Shed recently. Congratulations to Mrs Brown for all her hard work and to her very talented students.

VCE Theatre Studies

In the first week of June, parents and friends were treated to an entertaining show by the VCE Theatre studies students. “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” was performed in the Potato Shed and a big congratulations to the talented students and to their teacher Mr David Rock.

Public Speaking Recital

The College art gallery was packed last week when the public students delivered an inspiring and very amusing recital to many parents and friends of the College. The theme of the evening was “Life Hacks”. Many thanks to Ms Laura Farrell for the fabulous work she does with our students.

New Vocal Teacher

A big welcome to Mrs Erika Turner who has joined our dedicated team of instrumental teachers. Mrs Turner has much experience in all areas of voice, VCE teaching and assessment and we are delighted to welcome her to our College and the Performing Arts department.
