Congratulations
We would like to congratulate Yr 12 student Ella Banfield who, in September, successfully auditioned for a place at Ettingshausens. She is enrolled in the Certificate IV in Dance which only accepts approximately 40 students for a one year course. We wish Ella every success.
Congratulations also go to Annabel Harman who competed in the Contemporary Dance section of the Ultimate Dance Challenge, one of the very few competitions held this year.

Congratulations
Congratulations to Maria Argyropolous on her nomination for Callback 2020. Callback is a celebration of the outstanding talent of students who presented their work as part of the 2020 Higher School Certificate Dance Practical Examinations. It is a showcase of exemplary dance performances, compositions and films. Maria is nominated for her Major Study Performance Art of Breathing, choreographed by Mrs Katharine Boase. This is a wonderful achievement to be nominated for this showcase and confirmation of Callback performances will occur later in the year.
Congratulations to Ella Banfield for her successful audition for Ettingshausens. Ella will be completing a Certificate IV in Dance in 2021. This is a program where students transfer their current knowledge and training into a professional environment, developing a strong foundation for continuing into the professional world. Well done Ella!
End of Year Concert
All Curriculum students will be performing in the annual Ballet and Dance Concert. The End of Year Concert will take place with dates confirmed on 25-26 November. Due to the current restrictions, we are still in the process of finalising details but would like to thank you for your patience and understanding. Further details will be forthcoming.
