Cocurricular Update
Student Insight
Cocurricular emerged from the nightmare of COVID-19 lockdowns, shutdowns and cancellations with great energy and enthusiasm in Term 1. A new year and a new start, with many new students onboard. Interschool sports, debating, music ensemble performances, theatre performances, dancing, public speaking and the Duke of Edinburgh expeditions have all resumed. So too, our many and varied clubs and groups including the Girls in Black. The postponed 2021 Dance Spectacular, held earlier in the year, was an astonishing success, as too the recently completed production and filming of the 2022 College Musical. I Can Hear Music: A 1960s Jukebox Revue was full of vibrancy, energy and the eternally classic songs from the period. The College community
has also ventured back into the pool, with our swimmers competing in no less than four carnivals in Term 1, to the relief of many. It hasn’t been full steam ahead for all activities however, just when we all thought things were functioning close to some form of normal, an unprecedented weather pattern washed out much of the Term 1 sports season. As this edition of The Bridge features many of the major Cocurricular events in their own editorial space, I thought we might hear from our Cocurricular Captain Lara Veidners, Year 12 and some of our newest students in Year 7, who have just commenced their active participation in Cocurricular.
