Performing Arts Students Shine at VETsteddFOOD

On Friday 23 June we took a group of talented dancers, singers and musicians to share their gifts with our Macarthur Community at the VETsteddFOOD event in Oran Park.

VETsteddFOOD is run by the non-profit organisation MWLP and supported by Camden Council to bring together VET students and entertainers across a number of schools to put on an event which includes a 2 hour show with a 2 course meal and entertainment. 

St Patrick’s provided the entertainment for the Friday afternoon show and the girls did a phenomenal job, not only by showcasing their craft, but in serving their local community. The audience was made up of local senior citizens who thoroughly enjoyed the performances and made a point of meeting the girls and congratulating them. We heard many stories of audience members who used to love to dance and sing and we were able to reminisce with the special community members we met. 

A big thanks to Mrs Randell for attending the event and organising our dancers and to the music staff who helped us pack our gear and lead us towards phenomenal talent. We had 23 music and dance students assist us on the day. 

To our performing arts students, a massive thankyou and well done on a successful performance and your willingness to engage in this service learning opportunity.

We are extremely proud of you all. You brought such joy to the event and your work is greatly appreciated!
