Gala Arts
Congratulations to all involved in Gala Arts 2021. This was the culmination of a very different but wonderful creative journey for our performers. All students should be very proud of their achievements in bringing their performances to the Gala Arts screen. Special thanks must go to our specialists in each area, Ms Brodie, Mr Montz, Ms Clarke and Ms Moore, the Heads of House, Ms Berkley, Ms Busch, Ms Borthwick and Mr O’Leary, our AV production team assisted by Mr Hummerston, Mr Pincini, Mr Wooltorton, Mr Atkins and lead so capably by Mr Peate, and Ms O’Neill and Ms Boase for their ongoing support and organisation of the event. The technical expertise and creative contributions for our students in the recording of Gala Arts was spectacular and was beautifully filmed by James Taggart. The Gala Arts video is now available here (password GA) We hope you enjoy the show!
