Good Shepherd Lutheran College capped off Arts Week with its annual music showcase, a vibrant celebration of student talent featuring two concerts of excellence from Prep to Year 12.
The evening brought together hundreds of students across strings, choirs, bands and musical theatre, delighting audiences with polished performances that reflected teamwork, creativity and joy.
Supported by senior string students, the first concert showcased the enthusiasm and growing confidence of younger string and choir performers. The second concert highlighted the depth and sophistication of senior ensembles, including Jazz Band, Orchestra, Senior Choir, Wind Ensemble and Senior Musical Theatre.
From classical favourites to contemporary hits, each performance demonstrated the passion and dedication nurtured within the College’s thriving arts program.
A special mention went to Year 12 student Lachlan George, recognised for his exceptional musicianship and leadership across multiple ensembles as he performed in his final Spring Spectacular.
The concerts also celebrated the remarkable expertise of Antoni Bonetti AM, whose musical direction and mentorship continue to inspire excellence across the College’s performing arts program.
Music director Jim Tomkins reflected on the power of music to unite and inspire the school community.
“Seeing students from Prep through to Year 12 perform with such confidence and enthusiasm is incredibly rewarding,” he said.
“The standard of musicianship this year was outstanding, and it’s wonderful to see the joy that music brings to both performers and audiences alike.”
“The Spring Spectacular captures the heart of our community — students working together, sharing their gifts and creating something extraordinary,” principal Anthony Dyer said. “It was a wonderful celebration of learning, joy and creativity.”
The Spring Spectacular was a wonderful finale to a week that celebrated artistry, connection and community at Good Shepherd Lutheran College.
