960 students showcase<br />
the North Shore Catholic<br />
Schools Choral Festival<br />
Students from St Bernard’s Catholic School, Berowra Heights and St<br />
Patrick’s Catholic School, Asquith unleashed their inner performer when<br />
they recently took to the stage for the Australian Arts Alive (a3) Choral<br />
Festival together with fellow students at Catholic primary schools across<br />
Northern Sydney. <strong>The</strong> innovative program of music and movement<br />
workshops culminated in a musical spectacular, involving all 960<br />
students in years 5 and 6.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Catholic Schools Office, Diocese of Broken Bay has entered into<br />
a partnership with a3-Australian Arts Alive, a branch of the Australian<br />
School of the Performing Arts which is best known for the Australian<br />
Girls Choir and their involvement in the QANTAS “I still call Australia<br />
home” campaign.<br />
St Bernard’s Principal, Mrs Luanna Fletcher, said the a3 program was a<br />
magnificent experience for the students.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> children worked with the a3 team each fortnight last term in their<br />
own school, practising their performance items and having a great<br />
time engaging with the a3 staff,” she said. “It is so energising to see<br />
every student from Years 5 and 6 actively involved in music, singing and<br />
acting out the parts.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> workshops included popular and sacred songs, fun and high energy<br />
dance routines, as well as games and activities to develop the students’<br />
performance skills, confidence and teamwork.<br />
