THURSDAY 26 JUNE

On Thursday 26 June 2008, 31 of the College’s senior Dance students performed in the annual ‘South of the Swan Dance Festival’ at the Octagon Theatre, University of Western Australia.

The festival ran over five nights and showcased the dance works from secondary schools south of the Swan River. This is the second year Kolbe has entered the festival and the students have certainly put Kolbe on the dance map as their contemporary, tap and Bollywood performances were outstanding. The girls received a lot of positive feedback from choreographers from other schools, particularly on their stage presence.

Well done to the girls who performed in the concert. The effort and energy they put into their routines was outstanding. Thank you to the many parents and friends who made the long drive to attend the performance, your continued support of the Performing Arts at Kolbe is appreciated.

"PLEASE DON'T STOP THE MUSIC" Dance Evenings 2008

Kolbe Catholic College’s annual dance evenings were held over two nights in June. The performance involved all of the College’s Dance students as a part of their assessment program.

The evening featured students in Years 8 to 12 performing in many different styles of dance including contemporary, acrobatics, jazz, tap and Bollywood. The students performed in dances choreographed by themselves and also by Mrs Day to sell-out crowds.

A lot of positive feedback was received about the evenings including comments about the professionalism, high standard of choreography and the dazzling costumes. The students would like to extend their sincerest thanks to the various staff members who contributed in the preparation of this Semesters’ Dance evening, the result has been a spectacular success.

Thank you for all your continuous support and we look forward to seeing you next year.
