Year 11 Visual Art Camp to Bundanon Year 11 Visual Arts students have just enjoyed an immersive weekend at the magnificent Arthur Boyd properties on the banks of the Shoalhaven River. Students participated in numerous workshops to develop their own artistic practice though the guidance of specialist in-house artists. Workshops included Riverscape Ink Paintings, sculptural vessels using local, natural materials, plein air paintings of the beautiful landscape, and a panorama mixed media work.

Junior School Choir Eisteddfod On Thursday 31 May, our two Junior School Choirs participated in the Northern Beaches Eisteddfod and performed exceptionally well, with the Chamber Choir and Cantabile Singers achieving ‘Highly Commended’ and ‘Very Highly Commended’ awards respectively. They all sang beautifully and were fantastic ambassadors for our School, with particular mention to our Year 3 students who were still recovering from their exertions at camp. All our choristers are to be congratulated on their efforts for the eisteddfod, but also on the contribution the choirs make to our School functions and events. You are an integral part of many significant occasions throughout the year, and we appreciate the dedication and commitment you demonstrate in preparing for these events and undertaking the performances so enthusiastically. Junior School Creative Arts Evening Rehearsals for the Junior School Creative Arts Evening are going well! This will take place in the Great Hall on Thursday 28 June. Every student from Kindergarten to Year 6 will be preparing for this. The doors open at 5.30pm and the performances will start at 6pm.
