Arts

On Tuesday evening our Secondary Musicians brought to us a range of music presented through a coloured lens. The Secondary Choir, Chamber Choir, Senior Orchestra, Chamber Strings, Jazz/Pop Group and Guitar Club performed an array of music with 'colours' in the title set to some spectacular visual and lighting effects. From the Jazz/Pop's dramatic rendition of 'Gold Finger' through to the serene vocals of the Secondary Choir performing "True Colours"; a finger clicking "Pink Panther" from the Chamber choir to a toe tapping orchestra performance of ELO's "Mr Blue Sky!" The finale which combined the Secondary Choir and Orchestra brought the concert to a fun climax as "99 Red Balloons" fell from the auditorium sky!

Congratulations to everyone involved in the performance our music ensembles continue to grow and develop with more learners participating than ever before. We even had to extend off the Auditorium stage to fit everyone in. We will take a break for 1 week from rehearsals however after the Labour Day Public Holidays we welcome everyone back and invite new members to join our music groups.

Year 8 and 9 Sculpture Display 

Year 8 learners have created a ceramic sculpture that skillfully and purposefully incorporates hand-building techniques into their final outcomes. The theme of their sculptures has been inspired by creative ideas generated from personal interests, culture, environment or other artworks. Each unique sculpture has its own unique creativity combined with a functional and symbolic personal meaning corresponding to it. 

Year 9 learners have created a wire and/or cardboard sculpture inspired by one of the four natural elements; wind, water, fire, and earth. They have used various sculptural construction techniques to build a representational sculpture that incorporates the art principles of balance and harmony. 

Congratulations to all our Year 8 and 9 artists!
