Singing for a Cause
Over the school holidays, Beenu from Year 6K participated in a disaster relief concert organised by a renowned singing school based in Sri Lanka, Ashanti’s School of Music. More than 60 students took part in the event. Well done Beenu!

Battle of the Bands
We are excited to once again host Casey Grammar School’s Battle of the Bands, to be held at lunchtime in the Performing Arts Centre on Monday 23 March.
Students are eligible to perform a program of up to 10 minutes to a panel of judges, with the winning band selected to represent Casey Grammar School in the Harwyn Battle of the Bands. Entries are still open, so please contact Mr Collidge or Mr Evans if you are keen to be involved.
Robot Song Drama Excursion
On Monday 16 March, the Year 9, 11 and 12 Drama classes attended the musical performance of Robot Song at TheatreWorks in St Kilda.
For many of the younger students, this was their first time seeing a show in a theatre. While it was a small-scale performance, it was a great experience and one that will hopefully encourage students to attend more performances in the future. Students will now analyse the show as part of their studies.
