Thursday 14 and Friday 15 November, Mr Bowyer and Miss Turner took our MCSS Concert Band on Tour at the South Coast. Our students performed at Broulee Public School on Thursday to an incredible audience, and on Friday students stopped off for a little break at Mogo Zoo and then finished off their tour with a performance at Mogo Public School.

Our students represented our school beautifully, their ability to work together as a team, setting up for their performance, during their performances, listening to one another, and packing up was seamless. And a massive shout out to Katie Logue, a music student who is not in the concert band, but attended as a roadie to support the band!

We only had one small hiccup on the final day which meant that the students did their final performance without Tim, who could not be there due to illness, and the students held a band meeting, discussed the songs they would be performing and negotiated who would be conducting the band and how their overall performance and timing would work. Katie and Asha were our conductors on Friday and they did brilliantly! The fact that our students could pull all of this off is a testament to the amazing work Tim has done with them this year, Mogo Public School didn’t even know that we had to make adjustments, they did it so well 😊

A MASSIVE congratulations to our students who performed at AusDance ACT Youth Dance Festival (DanceFest) last night 7 November 2024. 

This year MCSS entered three performances, centred around the theme of What Do You Dream?

The first performance from our Senior Quest Dancers focused on Monsters Under the Bed and was an intensely creative piece which was relatable to all audience members in some way. The costuming was spectacular and the technical performance abilities second to none.

The second performance was from our Senior Quest Dancers focused on dreaming and entering into different dream states and the impact on the person as a result. Jared Murray was an absolute stand out performer!

The third performance was from our Junior Quest Dancers. With a group of 30 students on stage, the piece was incredibly moving and told the story of soldiers heading to war and those who returned and the impact on family when a soldier didn’t return. There was certainly an emotion filled theatre after this performance. 

Our senior students performed their drama production of Stories in the Dark. Our sincere thanks to all of the community members who came along and enjoyed dinner and the show. Congratulations to Miss McFadden for all of her wonderful support for our students!
