The Performing Arts precinct at Sacred Heart College has continued to be a hive of activity every week this term. Several performances have been held both inside and outside the classroom.

As year 7 students completed their very first term of learning an orchestral instrument they were able to perform for their peers. Despite some nerves at performing for an audience for the first time, they played with musicality and confidence.

Staff and students alike were treated to a wonderful Lunchtime Concert on Friday March 26 , featuring some of our outstanding singers and musicians. A big thank you to all the great performers as well as the teachers and students who were part of a very encouraging audience.

VET Music second year students spent time running through their set which will form part of their first SAC for their VCE/VCAL.

Dance was very much on everyone's minds as students embarked on plans for their role in the Dance section of the Arts Festival scheduled for June. This is an event which captivates the imagination and energy of many dancers , culminating in many performances of impressive creativity and technique.

As Term 2 approaches , there will again be a buzz of excitement around the Arts area as the SHC production of 'Diamonds' swings into action . Music ensembles will add the final touches to their musical choices for the Winter Concert on June 2nd, while students will be collaborating enthusiastically on their contributions to many projects and performances for the Arts Festival at the end of the term.
