IGNITE CREATIVITY, SPARK POSSIBILITY

This year’s Arts Day was a beautiful, sun-filled day full of colourful activities, PAC competitions, and performances on the Band Stage. The day had a vibrant energy, with students immersing themselves in the joy and power of the Arts.The themes this year were Clairvaux’s Fantasy world, Loyola’s Red Carpet, Padua’s Our Hero, and Siena’s Storytime.

The band stage showcased SHC’s VET music students, the SHC rock bands, and soloists. The activities on the day included key ring making, pendant making, a giant colour by numbers, a bake off, scrunchie making, and so many more! Students also got to view the Art submissions in the Cranbourne Gallery.

Congratulations to the winners of the Art competition:

Year 7 and 8: Celeste McLaughlin (Loyola)

Year 9 and 10: Charlotte Leicester (Padua)

Year 11 and 12: Charlotte Williams (Loyola)

Congratulations to this year’s Reni Turner award recipient, Zara Darby! Over the last six years, Zara has demonstrated leadership, passion and gentle guidance to younger students in the Arts. She has shone on stage in the last two combined schools’ musicals and has been a dedicated contributor to House Dance every single year—culminating in her house winning this year’s Dance Competition.

The competitions in the PAC this year were nothing short of electric! With categories spanning Instrumental, Small Group Choir, Dance, Art, and Theatre, the judges certainly had their work cut out for them. Thankfully, Mr Tracey kept spirits high—decked out in his Darth Vader costume and engaging in dramatic “battles” with fellow staff members—making the whole event as entertaining off-stage as it was on.

Students capped off Arts Day with the Evening Showcase, performing to an enthusiastic audience of parents and friends. The showcase brought together highlights from every Arts Day category, giving the community a chance to witness the creativity, talent, and dedication students have poured into their work over the past months.
