Stepping Up: 2024 Southern Federation Of Dance Exams

Stepping Up: 2024 Southern Federation Of Dance Exams!

Our dancers were all smiles today as 40 students from Prep to Year 7 took to Canterbury's Performing Arts stage for the Southern Federation of Dance exams.

Guest examiners Ms Hayley Iffland and Ms Danielle Christensen loved seeing our students’ beautiful dance technique.

After a year of dedication and practice with Mrs Barraclough, they were clearly excited to perform.

Each dancer will receive their well-deserved reports, certificates and medals in the new year.

Congratulations to all!

Mrs Cathy Brown
Teacher & Dance Coordinator

Term 4 Junior School Loud Lunch Concert @ Nabei | Event Recap & Photo Gallery

Term 4 Junior School Loud Lunch Concert @ Nabei | Event Recap & Photo Gallery

Today marked a minor milestone as our Canterbury Rock School staged its very first concert at Junior School’s brand new Nabei (verb meaning ‘to play’) Multipurpose Outdoor Learning Space during lunchtime.

With its spacious and cool shaded area, Nabei provided the perfect setting for the concert out of the hot Spring day sunshine.

Our school’s rock bands – Food Fighter and Breaking News, delivered an energising performance, filling the atmosphere with lively tunes, as the Junior School students enjoyed their lunches.

This event was a great opportunity to strengthen connections between the Senior and Junior Schools, inspiring younger students to follow in the footsteps of our talented musicians.

Check out the photo gallery to re-live the excitement on our Facebook Page.
