The 2017 Performing Arts Festival for Catholic Schools and Colleges has been officially opened. Holy Cross was represented with pride at the festival's Opening Mass by Senior School students Calvin Thiel (Year 12) and Zophia Paluszak (Year 11) and Junior School students Christian Tenaglia (Year 6) and Mia-Mae Vella (Year 5), all of whom are involved in Performing Arts Enrichment activities. The mass was held at Infant Jesus Church in Morley and presided over by Bishop Donald Sproxton and several other priests. It was a fantastic celebration of the importance of the role of faith in the Arts and those in attendance were treated to some beautiful music, dance and drama which were interwoven throughout the mass. Executive Director for Catholic Education in Western Australia, Dr Timothy McDonald then officially opened the festival for 2017.
Holy Cross College commenced participation in the festival earlier this week by presenting The Story of Oscar Romero in the Christian Drama category which was performed at the Chapel of St Brigid at Mercy College. Junior School students will be performing Piano Solos and Duets at Zenith Music next week. Updates throughout the festival will be posted weekly.
