What a fantastic afternoon at our Summer Music & Performing Arts Extravaganza! 🌟
Students from across the school came together to present a wonderful retelling of Where the Wild Things Are, showcasing the incredible musical and performing arts skills they have developed throughout the year.
Our instrumental musicians performed repertoire that captured the moods and emotions of each scene, including two original student compositions – Waves, written collaboratively by our cello students, and a composition created by Southbank Strings for the Wild Rumpus scene 🎶
Students also shared their creativity through dance, mime and freeze-frame performances, all of which were entirely student-created. Every student took part in singing, with a special performance from our choir adding to the celebration.
This performance was a true collaborative achievement and a wonderful opportunity for our students to share their hard work, creativity and talent with family and friends. We are incredibly proud of everyone involved! 👏

Capturing movement in a still image 📸✨

On Friday, 5 June, our Grade 11 Visual Arts students visited the National Gallery to explore the Zurbarán exhibition, a unique opportunity to experience 17th-century Spanish masterworks up close and use them as inspiration for a new unit. 🎨
Francisco de Zurbarán’s Baroque paintings show the power of symbolism, where everyday objects tell powerful stories. Inspired by this, students are now exploring the idea of a “secular saint", creating original artworks that represent contemporary experiences such as burnout, migration, or exam pressure through carefully chosen visual details.
📸 Some of these photographs were taken by Grade 11 photographer E. N., capturing the experience from a student perspective.
