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.

    HARMONY Day Today we celebrate Harmony Day, which is part of Harmony Week. It is a time to celebrate the many cultures, languages, traditions, and stories that make our country such a wonderful place to live. In our school and in our community, people come from many different backgrounds. Some people were born here, and others came from different parts of the world. Each person brings something special to share. The 2026 theme is “Culture Connects Us All.” Culture includes the way we live, the food we eat, the stories we tell, the music we enjoy, and the traditions we celebrate. When we share our cultures and listen to one another, we learn, we grow, and we build friendships. This helps everyone feel safe, respected, and included. As a Catholic community, we believe that all people are made in God’s image and are deeply loved by God. Today we remember the Harmony Day message...Everyone belongs!

    A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful school community for your generosity and spirit! 💚 Together, we raised an amazing $455 to donate to Project Compassion, supporting those in need and making a real difference in the lives of others. It was also fantastic to come together to celebrate St Patrick’s Day — a day filled with joy, community, and a shared sense of giving. We are so proud of the kindness and enthusiasm shown by everyone involved. Thank you for making this such a meaningful and memorable occasion! Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese Caritas Australia
