Congratulations Corner
FISAF Future Champions Cup
Congratulations to our outstanding Aerobics teams who competed in their final competition for the year, FISAF's Future Champion's Cup at NEX on Saturday. Both teams gave an outstanding performance, displaying all their hard work throughout the year. Our Year 1 & 2 team came very close to a medal, receiving 4th place and our primary team Blue Flames secured 2nd place, very excited to have their very own 'aerobics medal'.
Some highlights from the students:
"My favourite part was when my baby sister was helping us warm up by telling us to do a straddle stretch. It was pouring rain outside on the day." - Aurelie
'My favourite part was probably doing the dance on stage. I felt nervous before I went on stage and then afterwards I felt happy."
Aerobics for fun
From next Wednesday, a recreational aerobics group will be operating in the hall during recess on Wednesdays (infants children) and Thursdays (primary children). This is a low commitment, free to join activity for students wanting to give the sport a try. We will learn skills and a short routine and play some aerobics games.
We will be putting an announcement on the loud speaker to remind students that would like to come along so please let your child know to listen out for this if they are interested.

Aspire
I am Arabella. I’m an Aspire representative for St Kevin’s along with Olivia. I am also a part of the vocal ensemble in Aspire’s yearly production. The theme for 2025 is “The Rise of Bozz.” The production was inspired by Banksy, the artist. Just like Banksy, Bozz is unknown and is leaving his marks in different places to inspire others to rise up and to fight for what’s right.
Experience
At the start of rehearsals, we split our ensembles and practise separately. As the weeks went on, we started to come together and see how all the ensembles worked as a whole. We even got to learn choreography, which was so much fun! It is such an amazing experience in Aspire and I have made so many new friends. My favourite part about it is that everyone is so supportive and the instructors help you whenever you are struggling.
Applications
Applications for 2026 Aspire production are now open from years 4 and up. You can audition for drama, dance, instrumental and vocal. I would completely recommend trying Aspire! If you love singing, dancing or acting, then the program is for you.
