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.

✨ Advent – Whole School Prayer 1: Hope ✨ This afternoon, St Canice's came together for the first of our Advent prayers, focusing on the theme of Hope. May we bring the light of hope into our own lives and into the lives of others. And may we slow down enough to notice how we might be an angel for someone — or how someone is an angel for us. 💛🕯️
