This year's CAPA Night was held on Tuesday, July 2nd, in the school hall. The event featured Music and Drama performances by students from Years 9 to 12, along with a display of Visual Art by students from Years 9 to 11. The hall was filled with an enthusiastic audience of family and friends, eager to see the culmination of our students' hard work.
Our MCs for the night were Christian Marquez and Tyniko Chelin from Year 12. The duo kept the crowd entertained with their witty banter and excellent hosting skills. The evening kicked off with a guitar instrumental piece called “Voice of the Soul” performed by Maximo, Ranniell, and Nathaniel from Year 11, setting a high standard for the night. Following them, Gese from Year 12 delivered a soulful rendition of “Tennessee Whisky,” raising the bar even higher. Spencer Turner then performed an original song, “Till Death Do Us Part,” showcasing incredible talent.
The first Drama performance was Year 11’s group piece “Waiting for Godot,” featuring Zac, Ranniell, Laura, and Charlotte, who captivated the audience with their slapstick comedy and engaging dialogue. Skye McVerry from Year 10 followed with a powerful version of “Astronomy” by Conan Gray. The Year 12 Drama group then entertained with “Shoe Shine Boys,” featuring Alyssa, Danika, and Kittu in humorous Cockney accents.
Madi Albrow from Year 10 impressed once again with her rendition of the Latin-infused Bossa Nova track “From the Start.” Despite a last-minute change, Lacey from Year 12 delivered a stellar individual monologue, stepping up impressively after a late withdrawal due to injury.
Year 11 brought some heavy metal energy with a thrilling performance of Slayer’s “South,” featuring drummer Caiden, bassist Nathaniel, and guitarists Ranniell and Maximo. Darcie Bennett followed with a compelling individual monologue, and Breanna Jayde from Year 11 sang a heartfelt version of Adele’s “Love in the Dark,” taking the audience on an emotional journey.
As the night drew to a close, Year 9 music students Anna, Izabella, Lara, Claudia, and Lachlan delivered a professional rendition of “Teenage Dirtbag,” with a guest appearance from William on vocals. The final performance was a powerful rendition of System of a Down’s “Aerials” by Year 12 music students Kyle, Shannon, Lachlan, Dante, and Maximo from Year 11, complete with an impressive lighting show and electrifying guitar solos.
