16th and 18th June 2026 - Lower North Coast Dance Festival

Such a wonderful achievement by our students in the dance group who represented our school at the Lower North Coast Dance Festival held at the Glasshouse in Port Macquarie. Under the dedicated leadership of Rebecca (SLSO), the group invested many hours of rehearsals, and their hard work truly paid off with outstanding performances across the two nights. Our group was selected to perform on the Showcase Night with their 'Mission ImPAWsible' dance. Well done to all involved!
