The Creative and Performing Arts Department began the year with excitement and many new opportunities for our students. Our incredible Music staff and students have performed at our Opening Mass, Open Day and Middle Years Assembly. The College band is busy practicing and our artists have fresh works of art adorning the Innovation Block Gallery Space. MISA Dance is in full swing and our enthusiastic performers are practicing their skills to showcase later in the year. The Media Club, Young Archies and for the first time, Christmas Art Story are all on offer to allow our eager students to grow their artistic skills. 

Recently, the students of stage 6 Music were lucky to view outstanding performances from 2022 HSC students. This Sydney Opera House performance known as ENCORE celebrates the success of high-performing students and allows our own aspiring musicians to understand the standard required to excel in their studies of music at this level. Students in Year 11 PVDI, Years 9 and 10 Visual arts, and Years 9 and 10 PDM also have important, hands-on learning experiences coming up later this year.

An exciting new development for our faculty is the development of our own Instagram account. Our page, CAPA@SFCC is devoted to sharing the amazing creative potential of Art, Photography and Digital Media, Drama, Dance and Music students at the College. We would love for you to follow us and help celebrate our students' varied creative achievements. Students and parents are able to visit our new account to check out our fabulous Open Day Display. Student works will be added regularly!

Lastly, I wish to celebrate the amazing CAPA team and our outstanding student helpers who made our open day so visually stimulating, practical and engaging! The displays and performances and music were enthusiastically praised by our visitors and we can’t wait to share more with you throughout the year via our Instagram page and newsletter.
