SmArts Program
We were beyond honoured to have access to the amazing Grin and Tonic Theatre Troupe this week via the SmArts program.
The Artistic Director and acclaimed actor Jason Klarwein reminded us before the students performed, without the Arts, no one would have the confidence to perform
The Smith Family’s SmArts Enrichment program supports students’ engagement with schools by increasing their creative skills, self-confidence and knowledge of post school options.
Over 4 days, students engaged in a series of workshops led by theatre teaching artists Ellen and Jason from Grin and Tonic Theatre Troupe . The program targeted building of movement skills, explored devising techniques and showcased career pathways in performing arts.
Our students performed around 20 minutes of material based loosely on a character called Evon Tusk planning to relocate civilisation to Mars (due to climate catastrophe). It was SUPER funny and enjoyable and some videos will feature in our stories.
In no particular order we congratulate Ruby-Rose, Brad, Eliza, Nick, Scarlett, Jordan, Felix, Jacob, Chloe, Nathan, Tyle and Jayda.

On2Wheels
On Monday 21st November, the On2Wheels class headed to Melbourne for the last of the ride outs – The Capital City trail, a 30 km loop of the city.
It was “man vs weather”, as storm clouds and wind threatened to make their mark, but it was “man” eventually coming out on top; we experienced some light showers, and yes there was wind, but this didn’t detract from the day of riding.
We started our City loop at the Royal Melbourne Zoo, straight onto paths through the linear park across the top of Carlton extending to Richmond then Heidelberg (following the Merri Creek) then dropping down towards Prahran as it picks up the Yarra River.
Lunch stop was South Bank. The final stretch started with a meander along Southbank, past “Jeffs Shed”, then along the Docklands precinct before turning North and following the bike path under the Bolte bridge back to the Zoo. There would have been more photos, however a certain teacher (me) managed to lose his phone!! We needed to navigate a few detours because of flooding and some bridge works, but this didn’t stop us from experiencing a great day out. A number of students would have slept really well that night.
