Dance students impressed the crowd with a range of dazzling performances
Hundreds of students from 35 primary and secondary Catholic schools from across the Diocese showcased their creative talents in a series of music, dance and strings performances throughout June, culminating in the ‘Best Of’ performance on 23 June
The showcase events demonstrated the high calibre of choral, music and dance work from Catholic schools, under the Parramatta Diocese’s creative and performing arts initiative, CAPTIVATE.The program provides learning and performance experiences for students, as well as builds expertise and a sense of community across the system. CAPTIVATE is very popular with five new schools joining the program since last year.

Science came to life today for our Stage 2 students! Year 3 and 4 were amazed during the Kaleidoscope Science incursion, exploring solids, liquids, gases and even plasma through exciting, hands-on demonstrations. There were plenty of “wow” moments as students discovered how materials change and react in real time. So much curiosity, so many great questions, and lots of future scientists in the making! A big thank you to Kaleidoscope Science for such an engaging experience.
