PERFORMING ARTS SHOWCASE PROGRAM
PERFORMANCES BY PRIMARY & SECONDARY STUDENTS
DIRECTED BY
AIMEE FREIND
It is with great pleasure to welcome you to our very first whole - school Performing Arts Showcase ‘ Rhythm Revival ’. All students have been working very hard this Semester on getting their performances ready for this evening and are all extremely excited. Throughout the showcase we will be on a journey to see and hear music and dance across the decades. There will be a range of different performances including
instrumental musical items, and dance spectaculars from the Year 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 and 10 classes. We will also be treated to some dances choreographed by Lakes Alumni, Jemma Craig and Mischa Wright. On a personal note, it has been an absolute delight to teach the Primary students this Semester. I have loved getting to know these wonderful kids and their excitement and enthusiasm around music, dance and drama has reminded me of why I love teaching. I ’ m looking forward to commencing work on our next showcase for Semester 2 with the Preps, Year 3 and Year 6 students. The Performing Arts Team are very proud of all of The Lakes students. We cannot wait for you to see their efforts on the stage. We hope you enjoy! Stay tuned for information regarding our second Performing Arts Showcase taking place in Term 4.
