Performing Arts
Thank you to our students who hosted and represented the Performing Arts Faculty on Open Day — for Music, members of the College choir, band and drumline ensembles and students Kye Arnot and Celeste Tisbury; for Drama, the Year 10 Catalyst Performing Arts class 'Theatre Kids' Olive Kercher, Caitlyn Fong, Kaitlyn Kennedy, Shiloh Thurrowgood and Sheraiah Perera. These students co-hosted the Performing Arts space on the evening, running games and activities for the many visiting families who attended. Pictured below are the Theatre Kids in rehearsal mode.
Thank you also to Primrose Dillon (Music Prefect) and Vivienne Mackenzie (Performing Arts Prefect) who demonstrated outstanding leadership in setting up, performing and hosting the space.
Music
As we continue to build our instrumental program at MLMC we invite students who would like to learn a woodwind/brass or string instrument to attend try-outs in Term 2 at recess on Wednesday (strings) and at lunchtime on Monday (woodwind/brass). Students should contact me in the Music department or email me at wanderson@mlmc.vic.edu.au if they are interested in trying out one of these instruments.
Pictured above is Year 12 student Sixten Franz mentoring Year 7 student Tripp Goodlet on all things music production and DJing. Music production and composition skills are introduced early in the Classroom Music program at Year 7.
On Friday 24 March, the first Live@Lecture lunchtime music performances were held in the Lecture Theatre. Live@Lecture is a terrific opportunity for our students to enhance their live performance skills. Well done to Taj Ruta and Luca Barkla (pictured below). Students should contact Primrose Dillon if they would like to sign up to perform.
