Performing Arts

Congratulations to all students who have participated in any of the areas of Performing Arts this year. It has been a tumultuous year for many and, at times, one of uncertainty, frustration, but also great determination and perseverance. There have also been some outstanding performances and results achieved in competitions. Some have had more performance opportunities than others and some have crossed over to an online format with relative ease. Whatever the case, I say Bravo! to them all and thank you to the parents for their ongoing support of their daughters’ Performing Arts activities. Also I wish to acknowledge and express my thanks and congratulations to each of the heads of PA areas for their wonderful leadership; Miss Katrina Cluff – Dance, Miss Tamara Sweetman – Drama, Mrs Bronwyn Hubbard – Language Arts and Mr Kurt Schweinberger – Music.

They have done an amazing job under often very trying circumstances.

I am excited for 2022 when it is my fervent hope that our activities can revert to more normal operation and circumstances.

Best wishes to all students and families for a safe, happy and healthy Christmas and holiday season, sharing joy, love and laughter.
