Interested students are also encouraged to participate in DioSounds – a musical performance held at the Newcastle Civic Theatre each year. This event brings together all the secondary schools in the diocese to perform and celebrate each other’s skills and talents.
The Diocese also offers a program for performers called ASPIRE. Combining the full range of stage performance areas – Dance, Drama, Vocal, Instrumental and Backstage – ASPIRE allows for gifted students to extend their knowledge and practise with like-minded people from other schools. ASPIRE culminates in a series of performances each year, allowing students to showcase their talents to the wider community.
