Music Concert – Parade Presents

On Thursday of last week, I had the pleasure of attending the music concert with a number of colleagues, in a packed-out Rivergum Theatre. What an evening it was - with so many talented students and staff on stage. It was such a highlight, witnessing the students and staff come together and have so much fun performing hit songs (playing various musical instruments, singing, and assisting with the sound area off stage). We sincerely congratulate the students for bringing so much joy to the audience.

A warm invitation for families to attend the following events this term:

  • Thursday 28 August  - Drama Production ‘Puffs’  Opening Night (28, 29 & 30 August)
  • Tuesday 9 September - Father’s Day Breakfast (7.30am)

‘Puffs’ – Drama Production

This coming Thursday we look forward to the opening night of our joint Drama production with Mercy College, Coburg. The students and staff have been busy preparing for the show. If you have not purchased tickets, you may be lucky enough to get some for the three shows this week in the Rivergum Theatre. The finale will be on Saturday evening. Good luck to everyone involved.
