Music
Thank you to our Music Support Group parents for providing music ensemble students with a hearty breakfast along with an opportunity to hang out with like-minded musicians. It is always wonderful to see the girls sharing some food and chatting happily to each other.
Thank you to our musical scholars who provided beautiful music at the Annual General Meeting for the Pymble Board last week. These girls continue to amaze us with their talent and their dedication. Thank you to Ms Race who provided seamless accompaniment as well.

Finding Nemo

This exciting show runs for one hour and tickets can be purchased through the box office or by scanning the QR code attached to the flyer.
Performing Arts Competition (PAC)
One of the highlights of the year for our department is seeing students from across the College coming together to support their peers in a performance of their choice. From poetry reading to dancing, from opera to pop singing, from K-pop to ballads, every lunch time has entertained students. Congratulations to our Performing Arts Prefects, Lily Hearne (Year 12) and Grace Perrignon (Year 12) for their tireless efforts in putting the event together. The weather has not been in our favour, forcing the event indoors, however, the enthusiasm is effervescent for the entirety of lunch as students show their support for each other.
