Year 10 The A.I. Play

It has been a wonderfully vibrant term to finish off the year in the Drama and Theatre departments as students from across the College have showcased their talent, imagination and commitment to the performing arts.

Our Year 10 Theatre Studies students presented their production of The A.I. Play, exploring the relationship between humanity and technology. The students demonstrated impressive ensemble work, creative staging, sound and costume choices and a thoughtful engagement with contemporary issues.

Follow the Star Performances

Our Primary students took to the stage for the annual Follow the Star performances. These celebrations of the Christmas story brought joy, colour and humour, and it was wonderful to see so many students stepping forward to share their developing performance skills.

Year 11 Theatre Studies Christmas Play

At the Christmas Assembly, our Year 11 Theatre Studies class presented a dynamic performance that helped introduce the message shared by Mr Grant. Their creativity and professionalism added a special theatrical highlight to our end-of-year celebrations.

2026 College Musical Production

Finally, we are excited to share the announcement of our 2026 College Musical Production: Midnight – The Cinderella Musical. This enchanting re-imagining of the classic Cinderella story blends humour, heart and magical storytelling. Audition and rehearsal details are available on the Hub, and we look forward to welcoming secondary students to participate.

Thank you to all students, families and staff who support the Arts at our College. We can’t wait to see what the next year of performance brings!

Music

Training Band

Our Training Band recently concluded their year on a high note with a remarkable performance at the Victorian Schools Music Festival (VSMF), held at the Hawthorn Arts Centre. After two years of dedicated learning and weekly rehearsals, this event marked their final performance for the year.

Under the leadership of Georgia Bailiey, the ensemble presented a polished and confident performance that showcased their developing skills and musical maturity. Their hard work was clearly recognised, with both adjudicators awarding the group top marks for their performance.

We commend every member of the Training Band for their commitment throughout the year and congratulate them on an outstanding festival result.

VCE Music Unit 2 and Unit 4 Soirées

Earlier in Term 4, our VCE Music students took to the stage for their Unit 2 and Unit 4 performance soirées, presenting their full recital programs to a live audience. These evenings offered an opportunity for students to refine their performance craft, build confidence, and share the results of their hard work.

For our Unit 4 students, the soirée served as a final dress rehearsal ahead of their external performance examinations. Each student demonstrated strong musical maturity, technical control, and expressive purpose as they prepared to complete the final major assessment of their VCE Music studies. The soirée environment allowed them to perform under authentic exam conditions while receiving support from their school community.

For Unit 2 students, the soirée itself formed part of their formal assessment. Performing a curated program to an audience enabled them to experience the full performance cycle: preparation, rehearsal, and presentation. Their commitment was evident in the diversity of repertoire performed and the confidence with which they approached the stage.

Both evenings highlighted the dedication, discipline, and artistic growth of our VCE musicians. We congratulate all students on their achievements and thank families and staff for their support throughout the year.
