OUT AND ABOUT

River Tribes

North Arm State School was alive with the spirit of the Arts last weekend when over 150 students performed in an original musical, featuring live music, spectacular vocals and amazing costumes.

The storyline followed the demise and restoration of a vital river on which three rival tribes lived. The power of community, the ability of young people to enact change and friendship were major themes.

The audience marvelled at a spectacular set and some very special dance routines, including one which featured UV lighting and another with an Irish flavour. The lead actors were outstanding and performed beyond their age and with real professionalism.

Music teacher Bec Summers worked with a team of volunteers and said, "This was a massive community effort and one that we're very proud of."

The musical has become a biennial feature for the school with some students already starting the talk about the next one.

A young fan!

Excitement, talent, and community spirit took centre stage at Good Shepherd Lutheran College’s annual Jazz Under the Stars event. Known for bringing together students, families and friends, this free event is a highlight on the college calendar, showcasing student performances and offering an unforgettable evening of entertainment.

This year’s event saw a variety of bands, choirs, and solo performers dazzle the audience, with students of all ages performing in front of a lively crowd. The picturesque setting of the college’s outdoor stage added a special ambience, allowing music to flow under the evening sky.
