DUST AND DREAMS

Our NEW musical is here!!!

Exclusive for our little Year 2 and 3 students. We’re very thrilled to know that our ECA sign-ups filled up in just a few seconds! That only shows how enthusiastic the kids are about this show.

To all the kids who signed up, Mr Craig, Mr Mark and Ms Tina are all looking forward to see you at the first rehearsal on Monday, 1 February 2016 at the CAB, Performance Studio from 2:30-3:30PM.

NOTE: Rehearsals will be every Monday and Wednesday during ECA time (2:30-3:30PM). It is very important that the students attend BOTH rehearsals every week.

Our new central idea for Year 3:

“Nature can inspire people to express their creativity.”

Check out these two videos:

1. How Nature Inspires Music – This short film explores how nature and a love of the outdoors influenced the composer in writing his music.

2. Music From Nature – This video shows how the composer created his music using things you can find from nature.

3. Graphic Symbols
