Students Achievements

We saw an amazing performance from Miss Whittaker’s Senior Contemporary class who performed at the Gala Final for Event 522 Secondary School Contemporary/Classical Dance Group (Yrs 7-12) at the Sydney Opera House on Sunday. Congratulations to a fantastic performance by the following students: Mary Argyropoulos, Jasmine Chubb, Chloe Church, Bibi Daddo, Elizabeth Davies, Lara Dempsey, Sienna Gray, Jade Patrick, Jennifer Psaroulis and Sunday Stephens.

They were simply outstanding and a delight to watch. Following the win in the State Competition a couple of weeks ago, their dedication both off and on stage paid off and they came second in the National Competition at the Sydney Opera House winning Silver. What a wonderful result for all. Well done!

Ross Psaroulis placed 3rd in 15 Years and Over Tap Solo and 1st in 14 Years and Over Tap Championship at Sydney Eisteddfod. Well done Ross!

Upcoming End of Year Ballet and Dance Concert

Our concert is the highlight of the year for our Dance students. Performance work has already started in class time and costume fitting is in full swing. If you are a parent (new or seasoned) that would like to volunteer to help before, during or after the concert with costumes, hair or make-up, please let the Ballet Office know. It is a fun time and all skills are welcomed to support this wonderful event.
