Dance students impressed the crowd with a range of dazzling performances
Hundreds of students from 35 primary and secondary Catholic schools from across the Diocese showcased their creative talents in a series of music, dance and strings performances throughout June, culminating in the ‘Best Of’ performance on 23 June.
The showcase events demonstrated the high calibre of choral, music and dance work from Catholic schools, under the Parramatta Diocese’s creative and performing arts initiative, CAPTIVATE.
The program provides learning and performance experiences for students, as well as builds expertise and a sense of community across the system.
CAPTIVATE is very popular with five new schools joining the program since last year.

What an entertaining afternoon we had to finish Week 9 - enjoying the Year 4 Whole School Assembly. We had a great debate, a rap, an art display and an amazing dance. The children loved performing for us and we loved watching! Thank you Year 4!

Congratulations to everyone who competed in the Cross Country on Monday. We were able to run all our races from Year 1 Fun Run to Under 12s 3km. The rain stopped our Kindies, but we look forward to their race next Thursday. Congratulations Merici 💛 who were the overall Cross Country Carnival Winners. Congratulations to Garda 💙 & Salo ♥️ who were the House Spirit Winners. Well done to our Age Champions and Runners Up who were awarded their trophies today. All children in U8-U12 who placed in the top 6 will now progress to the Diocesan Carnival in May.
