Mini Concert
Our Mini Concert yesterday was a great success! Our littlest cherubs did such a great job performing, some for the first time ever. We are so proud of them for being brave and living their best lives on stage. One more week of classes for our Minis - Thursday, November 21st and Saturday, November 23rd. After that all Minis are officially on holidays!
Year 12 Graduation
Congratulations to our Grade 12 NAPA College students who have officially graduated from their Cert IV course. Friday night was an amazing night of celebrations, as we hosted our first ever ‘formal’. The graduates all looked stunning, and they had a great night of food, photos, dancing and kahoot! It was so special for all of our graduates to be able to share an evening of celebrations with their parents, teachers and friends. A night to remember.

Dance Concert - Beyond the Pages
The next few weeks will be a big focus on dance classes, as we bring our routines together in preparation for the concert. Attendance is so important, as teachers are trying their best to clean routines and ensure spacing and positioning is correct, along with finalising costumes. Please ensure your child is in class and notify Kimberley ASAP if your child is going to be absent. Please ensure you are reading all emails sent home with extra rehearsals and costume info.
Our Dance Concert tickets are selling quick! Make sure you have secured yours before they sell out.
