Arts Captain Report

It has been an impressive start to the year for the Arts department, with the announcement of the College’s upcoming musical production of Les Misérables, to be held in our very own MPC in late August.

Congratulations to everyone who put themselves out there for the auditions held over the past week. It’s always inspiring to see a range of students across all year levels put their hand up to be part of the production journey, whether on stage or behind it!

All students are grateful for the continued support from teachers across the College in making this production experience possible, and we look forward to starting rehearsals on the 17th of March.

Alongside the process of production auditions for our College musicians, the Music Department has started the year off strongly, offering private music lessons and public speaking coaching support. We also have a range of choirs and bands up and running, and eagerly look forward to more performances across the year from the talented performers at our College. If you are interested in any of these weekly activities, feel free to contact any of our friendly music teachers.

At the Academic Assembly, we were thrilled to hear that 2024 Alumna, Erica Payne, has been selected to perform VET Style 1- Lyrical at Top Class Dance 2025 at Melbourne Recital Centre. This is an amazing opportunity for Erica, and testament to her skill and dedication. Top Class is an annual concert series hosted by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA), celebrating exceptional performances by VCE and VCE VET students from schools across Victoria. This year, 123 high-achieving students were invited to audition for Top Class Dance, with only 35 ultimately selected to perform. These outstanding dancers showcase the remarkable skill and creativity possible within the VCE curriculum. We all congratulate Erica and wish her all the very best!
