DANCE

 

Our Dance classes have finished up the semester with submitting their choreography assessment. Year 7 students created their own Popular Dance routines and it was so great to see their ideas, planning and hard work come to life! In Year 7, Dance is compulsory so students get the chance to have a taste test of the subject before they go on to choose their electives in Year 9. This year's group of Year 7's have been eager to give Dance a go and we look forward to welcoming them back into Dance when they choose their Year 9 subjects.

Our Dance Squad has finished off the year on a massive high after they performed three routines at our Creative Industries Showcase in week 5. The students performed contemporary routine "Where the Heart is" and Hip Hop routine "Lemonade." To end the show our team debuted our new cheer uniforms in their Pom routine. RVSSC is looking towards including cheer into extra-curricular in 2023. In 2022 we will continue with our development of Pom.

 

Our extra-curricular Dance is looking to expand in 2022 with the introduction of a second squad. We will have our Representative Squad that will be competing at local competitions next year as well as a development squad for those students who are interested in beginning their dance journey. Auditions will occur very early in Term 1 next year so stay tuned to notices, Facebook and the school newsletter for more information

SHOWCASE

We are delighted to have our school second inaugural Creative Industries Showcase 2021. This showcase is an important and unique opportunity to celebrate the creativity of our Ripley Valley State Secondary College students and build connections with our Primary schools. The showcase was held on Thursday the 4th on November with great success.

We are so proud of our students and the wonderful artworks that they have performed and submitted for the showcase. A special thank you to Ms Jessica Starkey who coordinated this year's showcase as our resident Dance teacher along with Mr Dale Ezzy, Music and Instrumental Teacher and Ms Candice Vidotto, Visual Arts Teacher. Our students demonstrated what 'Achieving Excellence Together' looks like in the Creative Industries Team.

Thank you to our wonderful school and wider community for all your support. We are excited to share with you what comes next in 2022.
