Performing Arts
Welcome back to Term 3! I hope that you and your families enjoyed a relaxing midyear break. We are straight back into here in Performing Arts with a massive semester 2 packed full of the most exciting events.
Creative Generation
Our student performers are set to take to the stage next week in Creative Generation state schools on stage! They will participate in four performances from Thursday - Saturday at the Brisbane Exhibition and Convention Centre with 2000 other students from schools across the state. The show encompasses Dance, Drama and Music and this year is the 20th celebration so it's set to be phenomenal. We wish all of our student performers the best of luck.
Mrs Dixon, Miss Doorley and Miss Keating are taking a group of Performing Arts students to the Matinee performance of Creative Generation on Friday 19th July. Payments and permission forms must be in by next week to ensure that students can attend this excursion.

In week 2 we will be celebrating Performing Arts week! Students are invited to come along to see our brand new building and participate in activities across Dance, Drama and Music.
