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.

H A R M O N Y D A Y 2 0 2 3 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 Today we celebrated Harmony Day at St. Paul's. Members of our Mini Vinnie's team began the day by leading prayer at Children's Prayer before school. Following that, the Mini Vinnie's team presented a range of cultural games for each grade to play. The traditional games were taken from countries including India, Samoa, Italy, Australia and Trinidad. Finally, Year Six united our school in an afternoon prayer, with each grade displaying their paper chain people to represent each individual in our community being united together as one. We pray, God of all people, God of love, Just as the colours of a rainbow blend and merge to form one rainbow, So too may the colours of our different cultures and beliefs, blend and merge in our families, our communities and throughout our world through mutual respect and acceptance, so that we may come together in true harmony. Amen. 'Everyone Belongs'![612596187321775_713134967267896-1]()
