As we draw towards the end of the term, sometimes feeling, as F Scott Fitzgerald so eloquently expressed, as if we “beat on, boats against the current”, it is important to remember the significant and also more nuanced achievements of Pymble students in the Performing Arts for Term 1.

Major events such as the Senior School Ensemble Concert this Thursday and the joyously rich tapestry of performances that celebrate Pymble musicians.

Also, the triumphant achievements in so many areas of Language Arts that occur every week.

I had the privilege of attending the Fed and ISDA events last week and witnessed the integrity, collegiality and passion of Pymble students as they expressed their varied perspectives of the world.

A Junior School contemporary dancer in a Tuesday rehearsal this week, led by the extraordinary Miss Shelley, who completed the rehearsal of a sequence that brought fierce pride to her face.

The zest and sheer flamboyance displayed by Miss Sarah Boyd as she embarked upon a co-curricular Drama lesson; her undoubted commitment inspiring the students that she taught.

Such as are the performance experiences that occur every week across the complex landscape of the Performing Arts at Pymble.

As we beat on against the current of the challenges that we all face in our lives, our boats are staunchly navigated by the joy, hope and passion that we all share in the Performing Arts.
