Performing Arts Evening - Dance and Drama Concert

On Wednesday 8th August around 50 students from year 7 to 10 showcased their amazing talent for family and friends at the College’s Dance and Drama Concert at The Potato Shed.

Students showcased a variety of performances that they had developed in their Dance and Drama classes from semester one including Mime, Physical Theatre, Indigenous Theatre, Circus skills, Improvisation, TV commercial performances, Commedia dell’Arte and numerous Dance Compositions.

It was a wonderful evening that was compered by our College Captain Dean O’Brien and Performing Arts Captain Catherine Exton and highlighted the amazing talent of students within the performing arts at the College.

Well Done to all the students who were involved in the concert. Teachers: Ms Lehmann, Ms Marie, Mr Rock and Ms King.

St Ignatius of Loyola Feast Day Celebrations

Students from the year 9 music class thoroughly entertained the students and staff at the recent Feast Day assembly.

Laura Jamieson, Jett Willey, Jack James and Coco Bullock performed an original song “We’ve only just begun”. This song was written by Laura Jamieson, Olivia Mawson, Eoin McNolty and Joshua Payne.

The Year 12 band also performed “Cross roads”. Robert Juric, Dominic Randall, Ryan McNolty, Liam Power and Sam Grant have been practising hard in preparation for their performance exam in October.

Talent Quest

The talent quest was so much fun and special thanks to our arts captain Catherine Exton who organised all the afternoon entertainment. We were so delighted to have the famous Bob Evans from the band ‘Jebediah’ as our guest artist and judge. He mentioned that he loved our college and wanted his children to come here!
