House Music - 2026

House Music 2026 th

Monday 17 August

INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION The annual House Music Competition is a cherished tradition at John Paul College, bringing students and staff together to celebrate creativity, performance, and community spirit. This vibrant event is a highlight of the school calendar, where each House choreographs, rehearses, and performs a music and dance routine in response to a set theme, showcasing their talents and collaborative energy before the entire school.

This day is not only about performance—it is a celebration of our College’s culture and identity. In the spirit of Ngargee (Bunurong for “a gathering for celebration”), the House Music Competition is an opportunity for students to express themselves, embrace fun and creativity, and build house pride in an inclusive and joyful environment.

Theme: This year’s theme is “Pop Icons” — each house has chosen one artist to represent.

The theme was selected by our student leadership team, and each house’s song is chosen collaboratively by House Leaders and student representatives.

Purpose of the Day: To celebrate the JPC community and the arts through performance, collaboration, and house spirit.

We thank all staff for their support in helping create an atmosphere that honours this tradition and encourages student participation, silliness, and celebration.
