Celebration of Dance Awards 2022
A wonderful time was had at the Dance Awards on Thursday evening at Sydney Dance Company where we celebrated the Year 8 -Yr 11 award winners and our Yr 12 students who are leaving us so soon. Mr Byrne was delighted by the evening of Dance that exhibited such talent in all genres of Dance. We all enjoyed his story of how the Academy began and realise how lucky we all are to have such a unique program at our fingertips.
Congratulations to our Award Recipients
Our Yr 8 -Year 11 students were presented awards for Dedication, Service, Excellence and Leadership by Mr John Byrne.
Apologies from award winners Josephine Bannon, Madeleine Lamport and Summer-Eve Smyth who were at Winter School.
Au Revoir Year 12
