Junior School Concert & Whole School Production

Our school proudly celebrates the performing arts with two special events held every two years. The Junior Concert showcases our Prep, Year 1, and Year 2 students, with each class presenting a concert item that highlights their creativity and confidence on stage. Alternating with this, our Years 3–6 students take part in the School Production, a more professional play or performance that allows them to develop their skills in acting, singing, and stagecraft. Both events provide wonderful opportunities for students to immerse themselves in the arts and share their talents with our school community.
