St Mary’s College is delighted to offer Dance as an elective subject for Year 9 and 10 students from 2026. To celebrate this exciting addition, 13 of our Year 8 students recently took part in co-developing a contemporary movement piece that explored climate change and our collective impact on the planet.
Over four weeks, students dedicated two to three hours each week working with a dance practitioner at school to then share with student performers from two other Hobart schools. Their efforts culminated in a compelling performance on Thursday 18 August, highlighting artistry and a deep engagement with global issues.
Special thanks to dance practitioner Mr Leo Canales, program coordinator Ms Tullia Chung-Tilley, our Performing Arts team and our Sustainability Officer, Mrs Karen Walter, for their support in making this project possible. This initiative exemplifies how creative expression can foster meaningful connections with real-world issues, connecting global thinking with the arts and with new friends.
