Emer Friel (Year 9), Aiva Tyrie (Year 9), Amaya Lejarraga (Year 10), Harper Weekers (Year 11) explored every element of performance from Shakespeare to special effects makeup, and everything in between. The girls are excited to put their experiences into action this term in their Performing Arts subjects.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Earlier this year\u00a0The Attic Theatrical held national auditions for their musical production \u2018SHINE\u2019. Year 7 student, Amelia Betcher, was selected as the only Queensland representative, and has been working tirelessly to perfect her performance which will take place online at the end of the month.<\/p>\n \nWe are exceptionally proud of the hard work, dedication and continuous creativity shown by all members of Captured@StPats Photography club. The girls have continued to submit high quality images via their online blog facilitated through the Learning Hub throughout the holidays. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Harriet Geater-Johnson<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thank you to the Perc Tucker Regional Gallery for allowing our Year 11 Visual Art students to visit the Percivals. Until recently the exhibition was virtual-online only but a recent easing of restrictions allowed the girls to visit. The show had an exciting variety of works from the portrait, photography and animal portrait prizes and has helped the girls to consider the different techniques, processes and materials artists use in their practices.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nTheatre Residency Program<\/h3>\n
