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.

Today we gathered together to celebrate the beginning of Advent with a beautiful liturgy. The students reflected on their life as faithful people who bring love into the world in their actions for others. Stage 2 shared their success raising money for Catholic Mission. Our knitters gave their blankets to Mr and Mrs Smith who will take them to the flood victims in Western NSW. As a school we committed to stretching that love a little further to support St Vincent de Paul in their Christmas Hamper Appeal. We are lucky to have such generous families and commited students to showing Christ’s love to others this Advent season.
