It’s been a busy time for our Performing Arts students. At the end of March, we were lucky enough to be able to attend the ‘Get Technical’ event at Crown Theatre with our Year 10 students and a handful of older students. This was a performance event where the students watched the opening number of Moulin Rouge, followed by a 2 hour presentation highlighting and promoting careers in theatre production. The students were delighted and intrigued to learn more about pursuing a career in technical theatre. We must give thanks to Amanda Moreno Diaz for finding out about this event and attending with us. Here’s a link to more information about this event if you’re interested in what the students saw, and how this performance came about.

4 May saw over 100 excited KPA students descend on the Kalamunda Performing Arts Centre for a day of rehearsals followed by an evening performance in 2 sessions. With students representing both the General and Music streams, it was a very busy day. I was very proud of the students, and was delighted to see and hear the support from the performers and the enthusiastic audiences. Thank you to our students, families, friends, school community and Michelle and Marcus for another great collaborative performance.

Over the last couple of weeks, the students have been gearing up for and participating in auditions for our musical production of Frozen Jr. The cast list will be released very soon. It’s an exciting time for all students as we begin rehearsals for the big show!
