Pakenham Consolidated School’s choir will sing on the big stage for the first time, having been selected alongside other local schools for this year’s Victorian State School Spectacular.
Students from five schools in Pakenham and Officer will perform at John Cain Arena in September, showcasing the best of local talent.
Pakenham Consolidated’s dance team has been a regular participant at the spectacular, but this year it is the choir that is set to steal the show for the first time in the 30 years of the spectacular.
A delightful addition for the students to be selected for the mass choir, as well as the hardworking choir leaders Julie Moulds and Marie Wigzell and the many other staff who have assisted.
Just next door, Pakenham Secondary College will have many students contributing in dance and song.
Student Joice has been selected as one of the principal singers for the main ensemble choir, while fellow student James Nimaya’s audition was also successful for the role of one of the main dancers for the night.
Officer Secondary’s Willow and Sarah were also selected for roles in the main choir and dancing, respectively.
Pakenham Springs Primary School will join Pakenham Consolidated in the mass choir.
Teams from Pakenham Secondary and Officer Primary School will join the mass dance.
Students enjoyed a trip to the city to rehearse at the Melbourne Town Hall on Wednesday.
The 30th Victorian State School Spectacular will be held over two shows on Saturday 13 September at 1pm and 6.30pm.
