23 students from Year 7 - 11 participated in the MISA Dance Festival at The Cube, Campbelltown on Tuesday 26 June, 2018. Mrs Rebecca Ellerman choreographed the 8 minute dance which included famous pieces such as The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel and Soul Bossa Nova by Quincy Jones - better known as the theme song from the movie Austin Powers. Taking inspiration from the 60's music of the recent College Musical Leader of the Pack, the students performed the artistically engaging piece to an audience of approximately 500. Mrs Ellerman trains this group during sport each week and we thank her for the creativity, expertise and love she has for dance and for each student. The students had a wonderful day and especially enjoyed watching the performances of other schools. Check out their comments about the day:
