The arts have a powerful way of expressing beauty, sparking joy, and drawing people together. This was on full display in the final week of this term, when our College community gathered for the Performing Arts Evening, a culmination of months of creativity and dedication. More than 60 students took to the stage, sharing a vibrant program that included piano, strings, guitar and vocal performances, as well as drama, jazz band, and drumline. Audiences enjoyed everything from classical pieces and contemporary songs to lively ensembles and theatrical moments. Complementing the stage program, a gallery exhibition of student artwork showcased the creativity and skill of our Visual Arts students. The evening was a true celebration of the arts at our College and a wonderful opportunity for students to shine with confidence, teamwork, and joy.
Our students have also been sharing the joy of the arts with the wider community. They brought smiles to residents at Melody Park Retirement Home with a lively concert, created a festive atmosphere at the Nerang Family Funanza with performances from both our Year 5 Band and Concert Band, and represented the College at the Gold Coast Eisteddfod. Each of these experiences reflects the heart of our program to use the arts to serve, to bring joy to others, and to grow in confidence and skill.
