Dance Academy:
We are looking for dancers who are keen to be a part of our 2024 Dance Academy program in either years 7, 8 or 9. Our last trial day for Dance Academy is coming up on Friday 8th September (week 9). This will be your final chance to audition for our Dance Academy program. The EOI for this process will open shortly so please stay tuned to our socials for this.
We understand that the trial process may be daunting so if you are currently at RVSSC in years 7 or 8 then we will be holding some fun "come and try" sessions for those students who are considering signing up for our week 9 trial date. During these sessions you will get to learn a jazz routine that is at the standard of our Academy program. "Come and try" will run on Mondays at second break in the dance room (J111) from weeks 2 - 4. Students are welcome to come along to all sessions or just one! If you would like some more information about the Dance Academy program then please see Miss Starkey, Miss Doorley or Mr Dunn.
IMPORTANT DATES:
- Week 2-4 Monday second break: Come and Try Jazz routine
- Week 9 Friday: Academy Trial Day
Ignite Academy:
Students from the Year 7 and 8 Ignite Program have had a highly successful end to Term 2 with the completion of the Reimagine Swanbank project alongside CleanCo Queensland.
The students have been involved in the project since Term 1 and have presented their ideas on the future of the Swanbank Clean Energy Hub to the CleanCo team. During the end of Term 2, four students participated in the community panel on behalf of the Ignite classes to develop a masterplan for the precinct. Another 5 students presented the work completed by the Ignite class to the 30 community members. It was wonderful to see the change in conversation as the students brought a new perspective to the panel with their innovative ideas.
The masterplan has been released to the panel and we are looking forward to sharing the results of our work with the wider community over the next few months. Congratulations to all students involved - your work is having a meaningful impact on the community. Particular thanks to Nash, Gracelyn, Ewan and Sameera for giving up three weekends to work with the panel, and to Athish, Leilia, Irene, Campbell and Antonette for presenting our work to the panels.
We were also lucky enough to present at the recent Sustainability and Science Schools Showcase hosted by the Chief Scientist of Queensland. Brooklyn, Hannah, Tatia and Kanishka presented to other schools and teachers on a range of sustainability projects that our Ignite program has been working on. This was a huge task and the students did an incredible job representing our school, program and their classmates' fantastic work.
