Celebrating Creativity at the Arts Gala 2025 33

On Friday 29 August, the Nudgee College Arts Gala will return as a standout event on the school calendar, bringing together live music, stunning visual art and community spirit in one unforgettable evening.

For students, the Gala is a muchanticipated highlight of the year. A unique opportunity to present their artistic talents alongside professional creatives and to share their passions with the wider College community.

This year’s headline act is none other than ARIA Award-winning singer-songwriter Sara Storer, whose remarkable career includes 22 Golden Guitar Awards and a place among Australia’s most cherished storytellers. Renowned for her lyrical depth and emotional resonance, Sara’s talents extend beyond music, her visual artwork is equally captivating, offering a striking visual experience that complements her storytelling.

But Sara is more than just a special guest, she’s also a proud Nudgee College mum, known to many in our community as Sara O’Hare. With two of her four sons currently boarding at the College, her connection to Nudgee adds a heartfelt and personal dimension to what promises to be an extraordinary night.

In June, Sara released her eighth studio album “Worth Your Love” - a much-anticipated collection of heartfelt storytelling and melodic songwriting. In a special fusion of her talents, Sara will not only perform live with her musicians but also share the stage with Nudgee students, creating a unique and memorable collaboration. Adding to the night’s creativity and spirit of giving, she has also donated an original artwork entitled “Cyclone Nudgee” to be auctioned during the event, a stunning piece that reflects both her artistic vision and her deep connection to our community.

Guests will enjoy a curated exhibition of over 70 works by acclaimed professional artists, alongside inspiring student artworks and performances. With canapés, drinks, and the magic of live music and art, the evening promises something truly special.

Tickets are $45, with all proceeds supporting Arts projects at the College. Visit artsgala.nudgee.com to secure your place.
