Wow! Our final week of term is here, and what a year it’s been! We could not be prouder of everything the children have achieved this year both at the studio and on stage. The growth is what we are always proudest of and seeing them kick goals throughout the year has made all of the NAPA teachers so proud.

Beyond the pages dance concert

Our Dance Concert was a massive success, and we could not have done it without the support of our dance teachers. From choreography to assisting dancers with quick changes, they really have done it all. We have an amazing team, and I am so grateful for all they do for our dancers. Well done to every cherub who performed. You were all fantastic!

congratulations dakota! ✨

We got Annie! Another massive success for one of our NAPA cherubs, as Dakota Chanel has been cast as one of the four Annie’s in the upcoming production playing at Sydney’s Capitol Theatre. Dakota will star alongside Anthony Warlow and other amazing Australian talent in the ever-popular Broadway musical. Well done cherub. All your hard work has paid off and we couldn’t be happier for you.

Summer School auditions closed

Our very own production of Annie will hit the stage in January. Auditions have now closed but if you missed the deadline, please email me to discuss options.

NAPA News - Week 7, Term 3, 2026

What a huge few weeks it has been at NAPA! Our competition season has certainly kept us busy, and we are incredibly proud of the way our students have represented the studio. Beyond the results, it has been wonderful to see the growth, teamwork, resilience and support for one another that comes from getting out on stage and putting all that hard work into practice. A massive congratulations to every student who performed, and a big thank you to our teachers and families for everything that goes on behind the scenes to make these weeks possible.

And there is certainly no slowing down just yet! We are now heading into an exciting few weeks of productions, with Bring It On and The Jungle Book Kids both getting ready to hit the stage. There is so much happening across the studio, and we can’t wait to see all of that rehearsal-room work come to life!

A little reminder as we head into production season: there will be some changes to our regular timetable during production weeks to accommodate rehearsals, performances and staff commitments. Please keep a close eye on your emails and studio correspondence, as we will communicate any class changes, cancellations or adjustments as early as possible.

It’s a busy time of year, but also one of our favourites with lots of opportunities to perform, learn, support our NAPA friends and celebrate what our students have been working towards. Thank you, as always, for staying on top of communication and for being part of our wonderful NAPA community.

Now, onto this week’s news!

Welcome to Week 4 of Term 3!

This weekend we saw our Performance Team students take to the stage and what a show it was! The kids all did so well, with many of our seniors being in every second number. They took every quick change in their stride and our backstage helpers later commented on how well they all did backstage. Not only making their quick changes, but also helping and supporting their team mates through theirs. What a joy to receive this feedback from our helpers. We are so proud of you all.

This week we begin GCE groups with our College choir and then move to The Star to begin dance groups. Rehearsals for all of our plays and musicals are well underway, so make sure you are staying on top of all correspondence, as it is a busy few weeks ahead!

Wishing everyone a fantastic week ahead!

NAPA News - Week 2, Term 3, 2026

Welcome to Week 2 of Term 3!

What an incredible start to the term it has been! In just one week, we've celebrated our first dance competition of the season and wrapped up our powerful production of Jagged Little Pill. I couldn't be prouder of our students, staff, volunteers, and families, who have all contributed to such a successful and memorable start to the term.

As exciting as these milestones have been, they're only the beginning! Term 3 is always one of our busiest, with dance competitions, productions, examinations, performances, special events, and plenty of exciting opportunities for our students to learn and grow. While the calendar can seem full, it's these experiences that help shape our students into confident, resilient, and well-rounded performers.

With so much happening, I'd encourage all families to regularly check the NAPA Calendar to ensure you're up to date with important dates throughout Terms 3 and 4. It's also important to keep an eye on your emails and any communication from your teachers regarding extra rehearsals, timetable adjustments, costume requirements, or performance information.

Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support. It takes a wonderful community to make everything we do possible, and we're so grateful to have such committed families alongside us.

Wishing everyone a fantastic week ahead. Let's keep the momentum going!

NAPA News - Week 9, Term 2, 2026

As Week 9 comes to an end, we head into our final week of Term 2. The year is well and truly flying by, which is a reminder for us all to take each day as it comes and enjoy the journey we are on together. Little improvements being made each day, goals being achieved, challenges being overcome, and confidence growing are often the moments that matter most. While it can be easy to focus on the destination, it is the consistent effort, resilience, and commitment shown along the way that truly shape our students into the artists and people they are becoming.

As we move towards the end of another busy and rewarding term, I encourage our students and families to take a moment to reflect on how far they have come. Every class attended, every rehearsal completed, every new skill learned, and every obstacle faced has contributed to their growth. We are incredibly proud of the dedication our students continue to show and look forward to finishing the term strongly together.

A reminder to check in with the NAPA calendar to ensure you are on top of dates for term 3 and 4 moving forward. Also double check any correspondence from teachers regarding extra rehearsals or changes to class times.

Have a wonderful week all!

Week 8 is done and we are inching towards those school holidays. Before then we still have lots to achieve so keep those vitamins up, stay dry and take care of yourselves. There is still a lot of illness about, so please keep your child home if they are contagious, but be sure to fill in the absentee section in your parent portal.

Due to popular demand we have released uniforms for sale again, along with launching some brand new items. The website is live for orders and I will update with images once I receive the photos from our recent photo shoot. See below for more information.

Have a wonderful week all!
