Performing Art Challenge

On Wednesday 30 November, we had our annual Performing Arts Challenge. It is a house competition that involves each house colour getting together to create an original play.

The play must include drama, live music and dancing. Teams must creatively use a code word and a Benedictine value somewhere within their performance. This year's code word was "Glasses" and the Benedictine value was "Balance." 

This year's competition was creatively led by our Performing Arts Captain, Siena Harding. Our theme was to promote "Bravery over Perfection" in our young women. The production teams were beautifully managed by House Captains Michaela C (Chisholm), Brooke D (Lyons), Samantha J (Gilmore) and Paris B (Kenny). In the end, the Gilmore production team took out the prize for their cohesive, circus themed story of balance. A massive congratulations to all the Captains and their production teams for a thoroughly enjoyable and significant event. It was wonderful to see all the girls supporting the bravery of each other, regardless of the House they were in.
