Term Two
The end of Term Two saw a great opportunity for our performance
classes, hip hoppers and Contemporary dance students to show all of us their
new routines with our MID-YEAR CHARITY CONCERT.
With both schools participating, we managed to raise enough money
to sponsor a primary school child through The Smith Family Sponsorship Program.
This will help our child Katie, in Year 2, to realise her potential through
education. Chosen by The Smith Family, Katie is 8yrs old and enjoys art, and
music. Through our sponsorship she will receive direct financial assistance
for education-related essentials to help her fit in and belong at school. She
will also have access to a critical network of support including tutoring,
mentoring and literacy programs - to ensure that Katie is getting the most
out of her education.
Students continued to shine in Term Three at the Bathurst and
Orange Eisteddfods. Special mention to the 10/u Jazz Troupe who were awarded
2nd place at their first ever eisteddfod!!!

AWARDS
BANKSTOWN TOWN HALL
What a fantastic two days of competition!! I am so proud of all students who
tried so hard in their heats. Many of you got through to the 2nd and 3rd rounds,
even though you were competing against up to 200 other dancers in the same
grade!!
The following students had fantastic success in their finals:
2nd Place Zac Bladwell Grade 5 Tap
3rd Place Rebecca Stockwell Gold Star Tap
4th Place Georgia Ainsworth Grade 4 Tap
5th Place Emma McIntosh Grade 2 Ballet
6th Place Sebastien Thornton-Walker Grade 2 Jazz
Zac also received the Hope Ryrie Scholarship for 2011 to help extend his special
talent in tap dance.
Term Four
Term Four brought more exams as session 2 candidates became ready to show their
newly honed skills. Congratulations to all students who participated in jazz,
tap and ballet exams this term. We received a 100% pass rate with 90% of students
scoring honours!!! Its amazing to see how exams brought out the best in your
dancing - and how motivated you all are by your results!! :)))
Campbelltown RSL Kids in Concert Event
Goulburn Students performed at the charity event Relay for Life. What a good
cause. This performance was voluntary and it was so wonderful to see so many
who were eager and keen to put a smile on the faces of the team walkers :)
Our performance classes were also very successful at the local Goulburn Eisteddfod:
8/u Jazz 1st
10/u Tap 1st
10/u Jazz 3rd
12/u Tap 1st
12/u Jazz 2nd & 3rd - 2 dances
12/u Contemporary 1st
13/O Jazz Highly Commended
This is a fantastic result - especially as our performance groups are NOT selective
- anyone can join!!! You all put in a great team effort - Well Done!
