Students go 'on the road'

 

A performing arts troupe from Brisbane Water Secondary College went "on the road" during Education Week, visiting local primary schools with a one hour show.

Relieving college principal Mr Frank Gasper said the show was "enthusiastically received by enthralled primary students and proud parents and teachers".

"The college was able to showcase many talented students in a wide range of activities.

"These included the gymnastics club who meet each week after school and the drama group who put on a series of skits and a puppet show.

"Our Years 7, 8 and 9 dance groups, who have special dance classes in their curriculum, showed why we have four groups in the Laycock Dance Festival later this year.

"The choir performed very capably despite the fact their teacher-conductor was ill and unable to attend.

"Some of the crowd favourites were the juggling act of Cody Harrington, the solo vocalist Josh Keane, the Umina Campus Choir, the gymnastics troupe, the talented flautist Elissa Koppen, a dance solo by Jade Bright, a dance duet by Cara Ceruli and Amanda Bruce and two rock bands.

"The students from both high school campuses had a ball and it was a great way to show our primary students some of the things they can get involved in when they come to high school."
