Performing Arts Festival for Catholic Schools & Colleges Update & Awards
The 2018 Catholic Performing Arts Festival is in full flight with the Newman College Arts students ‘shining through discovery ‘across all of the Arts disciplines.
An enormous thank you and congratulation to Margaret Goldsmith (Newman College Catholic Performing Arts Coordinator), for her outstanding commitment in coordinating over 130 entries in the Visual and Performing Arts. Many of these entries include large students groups, and several of our students perform across several Arts disciplines. Our notably significant involvement has showcased our exceptional Arts program, which is led by our incredibly talented, committed and passionate Arts staff, and actioned by our equally gifted and talented students.
We have had increased primary school entries this year, with inclusion in the Junior Primary Coral Speaking section and the Primary Angelico Art exhibition. Our liturgical singing and choir program has once again been showcased at an exceptional standard of etiquette and performance.
The following students have had their Art work displayed at the Primary Angelico Art Exhibition for 2018. The students have displayed outstanding commitment to their craft and we are blessed that they are able to share their talents. Thank you to Mrs Amy Farrell for your instruction and support.

Newman College Arts has been a highly visible contributor in 2018 in support of this wonderful festival in the Catholic Education calendar. The college has been represented across a record number of categories this year, with the number of awards we have received to date testimony to this.
Our involvement in Catholic Performing Arts is supported by our whole college community. On behalf of the Arts team we would like to express our sincere gratitude to the college staff who have support the students involvement, by adjusting learning and assessment programs, class instruction and activities to accommodate our student involvement. Thank you also to the parents of our students and for their tireless support in taking students to and from, and watching events.
Congratulations to all the students who have taken part in the festival so far, for all your accomplishments to date. “Chookas” to all those who are yet to perform, or exhibit. We wish you well!
Newman College has certainly shone in the Arts learning area, within the wider Catholics Education community, through our continued involvement in Catholic Performing Arts. Congratulations to all who have been involved for 2018.
