Dance students impressed the crowd with a range of dazzling performances
Hundreds of students from 35 primary and secondary Catholic schools from across the Diocese showcased their creative talents in a series of music, dance and strings performances throughout June, culminating in the ‘Best Of’ performance on 23 June.
The showcase events demonstrated the high calibre of choral, music and dance work from Catholic schools, under the Parramatta Diocese’s creative and performing arts initiative, CAPTIVATE.
The program provides learning and performance experiences for students, as well as builds expertise and a sense of community across the system.
CAPTIVATE is very popular with five new schools joining the program since last year.

It was a wonderful moment of faith, gratitude, and togetherness as we came together to start the year united and hopeful.

FIAT NEWS Some members of our Faith in Action Team attended the Project Compassion Launch at St John XXIII Catholic College. With this year’s theme, Unite Against Poverty, we were inspired by speakers including Bishop Vincent and Jack de Groot, who reminded us of the power of coming together to support those in need. We’re excited to share that the OLOL Big Water Walk is back! 💧 Stay tuned for more updates and ways to get involved!
