On the 20th of June, a group of Year 7s and 8s were selected to attend the MISA Dance Showcase to represent St Francis. Our team competed against other schools and celebrated the art of dance. For the past 12 weeks, we have worked closely with the MISA Dance team to choreograph a piece that they could be proud of and perform confidently. 

We were asked to be the choreographers and ‘captains’ of the team late last term and were more than happy to take on the responsibility, having multiple years of dance experience under our belts. Having 12 school weeks to create and work on a piece was a daunting task. However, we found that everyone in the team was hardworking and consistently showed their commitment by attending rehearsals each week during Tuesday sport and even some break time rehearsals. A positive attitude was always present and great camaraderie was shared between the students.

We are pleased and proud to say that the performance went very well and each student performed strongly on the stage. On the day, the students were able to watch a variety of other performances and the sportsmanship and support given was great to see.

• Keira B and Isabella S, Year 12

On behalf of the College, I would like to thank Keira and Isabella for all their hard work and dedication to the MISA Dance group. They worked tirelessly to ensure that the students learnt and perfected the routine before their big Showcase. I would also like to thank Mrs Jamieson, Mrs Kells, Mrs Bryan and Miss Santucci who were all involved in developing the students dance skills and understanding throughout Terms 1 and 2.
