The Cat Empire

Last Thursday, 12 of our elite singers from Years 8 to 11 (Asha B, Isabella C, Kate C, Daisy F, Bailey H, Charlee H, Ava J, Bronte M, Leili M, Amelie R, Erin W and Ava Z) performed in the Concert Hall at the Sydney Opera House with The Cat Empire and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. It was an incredible show and an incredible experience for our girls. The Cat Empire had 11 members on stage (featuring flamenco dancers, a horn section and multiple percussionists). There were more than 50 members on stage in the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. I express gratitude to Ms Ines Paxton, Ms Lotus-Rose Kypriotis and Ms Leanne Haines for their efforts in organising, rehearsing and performing with these students.

Congratulations to Year 12 Drama

Amygdalas Anonymous followed the trials and tribulations of five brain eating zombies in rehab as they took the required steps to cut brains from their diets so they could return to human form.
