As always lots of exciting things happening in Culture at the moment!

Choir

We are very excited to announce that both of our College choirs will be starting up again very soon. These choirs will be invited to show off their performance skills at assemblies, eisteddfods, choral events and much more throughout the school year. OLSCC is rich with vocal talent and it will be marvellous for those skills to be on display in our choir! Students can be registered to participate in choir by completing the form that was emailed to you.

Students gain so much from being part of a choir. They develop skills in memory, concentration, singing, articulation, reading (words AND music notation), teamwork, confidence, and many other skills! In fact, research tells us that students that study music develop skills to assist them in all other academic areas at school. 

Early Years Choir

• Open to students from Years 2 - 4
• Meet to rehearse every Wednesday morning, 8:15am-8:45am

In completing the form that was emailed to you, your student is committing to their nominated choir, which will require he/she attend rehearsals at the designated time, and performances for the remainder of the school year.

CECP

It’s amazing to see the growth in the Culture Extra-Curricular Program over the past year! So many students are loving performing and learning about the Arts.

Agreements have officially gone out and CECP classes will begin this week. It is very important that all agreements are returned to either Miss Creeley or the College Office as soon as possible. Students will not be able to participate in their lessons during week 4 if their agreements have not been returned.

Spots are limited but if you are interested in your student joining the program, contact Miss Creeley ASAP via email Tamara.Creeley@twb.catholic.edu.au 

Musical

Thank you to all the students who auditioned last week! It was amazing to see so many students excited and enthusiastic to be a part of our performance!

Our first rehearsal will be this Sunday 12 February

Future rehearsals will be:

• Thursday afternoons 3.30pm - 5.00pm
• Sunday afternoons, 1.00pm - 4.00pm, extending to 10.00am - 4.00pm as we get closer to the performance date.

Rehearsal this week will take place in the PAC to combat the heat. Roles will be announced at this rehearsal. Additionally, scripts and rehearsal schedules will be distributed.

All leads and anyone who has expressed interest in being part of the chorus is expected to attend.
