25.01.2022 We received this wonderful message from our Student Council President Rishika Nair and would like to share it with our community. "Speaking on behalf of the students, I would like to thank all our teachers, support staff and cleaners. As this whole situation started to become much more serious, we could see the hard work our cleaners were doing, walking around the college cleaning surfaces as often as they could, and ensuring there was soap in all the bathrooms. For this, we ...are very grateful to them for their efforts in making the college a safe space we could learn in. Thank you to all staff members who ensured both students and parents were constantly updated and informed of the progressing situation within schools. As numbers of students attending school dwindled, we could see the concern the teachers and staff had of whether students had enough material and support to be working at home. Your efforts in helping the students has really been appreciated. We have been getting emails and updates of what we should be covering in each class. Teachers have made it known that they are available to support and aid us in our work, and we can email them with any questions or inquiries at any time. We have really seen the dedication and the lengths that every staff member at JC are willing to take for us to receive our education. And for that, we are so grateful and we thank you all for your efforts in not only keeping us safe but also making sure we feel supported. Thank you all." Rishika Nair, President Student Council

10.01.2022 We know that many students who attend the John Curtin College of the Arts live in our Town, so we are happy to help promote their latest Senior Drama Performanc...e, "The Visit". About The Visit Swiss dramatist Friedrich Dürrenmatt’s visionary revenge play, The Visit, explores patterns of betrayal, abandonment, destruction, forgiveness and love in a darkly comic story of a scorned woman’s ultimate revenge. John Curtin College of the Arts senior drama students put on spectacular performances from April 21-24. The story opens with the town of Gullen awaiting the arrival of millionaire and previous Gullen inhabitant, Claire Zachanassian. The town is in a state of disrepair, and the residents are suffering considerable hardship and poverty. The task of convincing Claire to make a donation has fallen to Anton Schill who co-incidentally was also once Claire's lover. See first-hand, how everything, including justice, can be bought. Below you can watch the behind the scenes interview from the senior drama students and hear from their point of view how the story unfolds.

08.01.2022 Congratulations Year 10 Declan Daines heading to The Australian Ballet school in 2021. 15-year-old Declan has a dream to turn his passion for dance into a lifelong career where he can share his joy and love of performing, teaching and choreography. Declan has been studying Ballet and Dance in Perth since he was 6 years old with Helene Gowers Ballet School and is currently in Year 10 at John Curtin College of the Arts in the Gifted and Talented Ballet program. While keeping u...p his academic studies, gaining academic recognition awards, he has also been diligently pursuing his future career path. Earlier this year Declan auditioned for entry to the Queensland Ballet Academy and The Australian Ballet School, two of Australia’s most prestigious dance schools. In September Decan learned that he had received an offer of placement for both schools. Declan has accepted the offer from the Australian Ballet school to commence in 2021. This is a huge decision both financially and personally for his family with Declan not turning 16 till March. I am so excited, but also scared at the same time as I have never been away from my family and home before. The course he has accepted is a two-year course and he will complete his Year 11 & 12 studies at the Victorian College of the Arts secondary school. This year we see Nutcracker return to our Curtin Theatre where Declan will the perform Harlequin Doll and the Grand Pas de Deux as the Cavelier with Sugar Plum. If you would like to see more of his journey or help him reach his goals, please visit the link below, share the video or link and most importantly, enjoy. https://gf.me/u/yzrpn7 See more
