The staff act started the day on a high with special guest, Elton John (aka Deputy Principal, Dr Cousins) opening the show with an incredible rendition of ‘A Circle of Life’. The House Dance competition followed with Carmichael House taking out the top prize for their colourcoded, co-ordinated and creative performance which featured Principal, Cate Begbie! Many Old Collegians, parents and grandparents stayed throughout the day to watch the amazing array of music, drama and dance performances and view the visual arts submissions, which included some fabulous cakes and exceptional woodwork. Seven incredible House Choir performances finished off the day, with Stewart taking out first place for their 60’s inspired performance. Stewart’s winning streak continued as they took out the Arts Day cup for a fantastic day of performances overall. Arts Captain, Gabby McDonald was thrilled with the day’s success. “I’m so proud of the effort and commitment of all the girls to make this the best day of the year,” she said.
