Our 2021 Showcase was a wonderful evening for our whole school community. To have a night where every boy performs on stage in costume as part of our competitive House Competition is a wonderful example of the College’s emphasis on participation and fostering the creative spirit. It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase some our top instrumental and choral ensembles, film productions, artwork, and the newly formed Dance Crew, represented by three outstanding tap dancers who brought the house down with their routine to “Shout”. Thank you to our Year 5 parents who were our judges for the evening and for all who braved the damp weather to make the most of this important school tradition. Congratulations especially to Xavier House for their win on the night!

We have special messages to the House groups from our College House Deans.

🔵 COFFEY HOUSE – “What a phenomenal effort by the men of Coffey House with the theme of Travel. Some outstanding performances from the Year 12’s Conor McAteer, Bailey Carroll, Luke Ryan, Tim Ryan, Joel Hogan and the script written by Joseph Dwane as well performing. Joshua Hentscher did miraculous work with his performance, his choreography and preparing the boys for the night. With Jacob Prlja, Kahlem Rapson-Charger and Joshua Dorsett making sure that everyone knew their moves. Also, a thankyou to Alec Gold for all his assistance in preparation and on the night. And a massive thanks to all the boys that sang their hearts out. No matter the outcome on the night Coffey always puts on a great show. Well done Coffey!!!” ~ Mr Steve Copping, Coffee House Dean
