Students step up for Dancin’ Daze 59 students from 11 Catholic secondary schools across western Sydney participated in ‘Dancin’ Daze’ - an intensive series of dance workshops with leading Sydney performance artists including 2010 ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ finalist, Don Napalan and Sydney Dance Company teacher, Matthew Endycott. Over three days, the students learnt a series of routines from a range of dance and performing arts genres including swing, street dance, Zumba, breakdancing, broadway, Bollywood and African drumming. On the final day the students showcased their skills during a special performance for friends and family. The Dancin’ Daze program, which is open to all Catholic secondary school students within the Parramatta diocese, aims to expose students to a wide variety of dance genres and industry professionals. The program is organised as part of the Parramatta diocese’s performing arts initiative, CAPTIVATE, which offers students a wide range of quality learning and performance opportunities. CAPTIVATE’S team leader, Mark
Hopkins said the Dancin’ Daze workshops have many benefits for students. ‘Dancin’ Daze exposes students to a number of different performance styles and professional performers and choreographers,’ said Mark. ‘It also fosters mental strength, respect, responsibility, team work and creativity.’ Participating in the Dancin’ Daze program for the first time this year was Libby Montilla from McCarthy Catholic College, Emu Plains. A self-taught hip-hop performer, Libby enjoyed the variety of the workshops. ‘It’s been a good experience,’ said Libby. ‘Learning other styles I think will give me more choice and will help my skills when choreographing my hip-hop routines.’
Nepean Potters Exhibition The Nepean Potters Society is a group of local people from Penrith and the Lower Mountains who participate in this small non profit organisation. They work towards these exhibitions as a focus for their operations and use them as their primary source of funding.

Entry is free. There will be a exclusive range of pottery on exhibition most of which is for sale. These works will make unique Christmas presents.

Future Stars
Recycled Water Plant Now Open Up to 50 million litres of recycled water a day will flow into the Hawkesbury-Nepean River at Penrith – with one of Australia’s largest water recycling projects maintaining the river’s flow. The $209 million plant at St Marys is now open. Following the plant’s successful commissioning period, the plant will now start providing up to 18 billion litres of recycled water a year – 3.6 per cent of the needs of Sydney, the Illawarra and the Blue Mountains. The project takes wastewater from three plants at Quakers Hill, St Marys and Penrith and treats it using reverse osmosis, which involves pushing already treated wastewater through extremely fine filters to trap nutrients, minerals and chemicals. The very high quality recycled water – which is similar in quality to distilled water – will be released into the Hawkesbury-Nepean River to maintain flows in the iconic river. An education centre is opening at the site. For more information on Sydney Water’s recycling projects visit www.sydneywater.com.au
Children at Emu Heights Public School love to sing and dance! The school’s junior choir recently performed at the Town Hall as part of the Bridges to Understanding Concert while the senior choir performed at the Sydney Opera House as part of the PULSE concert. The three dance groups provide a wealth of performance opportunities for children from Kindergarten to Year 6, while three recorder ensembles performed earlier this year at the Festival of Instrumental Music. True to the school’s belief the Performing Arts are for everyone all 320 children enthralled an audience of over 400 guests as part of the school’s Education Week celebrations.
