CULTURAL ACTIVITIES AT ASSUMPTION COLLEGE

 

 

Debating

Assumption College is a member of the Debating Association of Victoria’s School Competition (DAV). We compete against up to 40 schools within the Coburg region. There are generally 5 debates a year (unless students progress to finals) which are held at Mercy College Coburg. The Debates run through Term 1-3.

 

Students are divided up into grades depending on their experience and year level; A Grade (Year 12’s), B Grade (Year 11’s), C Grade (Year 10s) and D Grade (Year 7-9s). Senior students may also be eligible to apply for a position on the Sacred Heart/Assumption College Exchange Debating Team.

 

Music Co-curricular Activities:

Acapella Singers, Junior/Senior Music Soirees, Junior/Intermediate/Senior Bands and Stage Band

 Students across the college are encouraged to participate in any of these music cultural activities throughout the year according to their level of experience and age.  The Junior and Senior music Soirees are an opportunity for our music students to perform their work to a live audience.

 

Junior Drama Production

Students from Years 7 - 9 are able to participate in this cultural activity each year. Past shows have included ‘The Knightley News’ in 2009, ‘Romeo and Julie’ in 2010 and ‘Bollywood High School – Please Keep Off The Grass’ in 2011.

 

Senior Production/Musical 

Students from Year 9 – 12 are able to participate in this cultural activity each year. The shows alternate every year with one year being a musical and other being a straight play.

Students in sessional dance classes, or dance classes from Years 9 – 12 are automatically involved however students within the college that do not participate in dance classes are also encouraged to take part in the evening. Routines are prepared and costumes are provided.

 

Assumption Day Concert

Students from Years 7 – 12 are able to participate in this cultural activity each year. We perform the afternoon of Assumption Day in August at ACK in the Gonzalez Centre. Priority is given to students who take part in co-curricular groups. The concert is judged by a panel of judges and performed in front of the all staff and students at ACK.

 

Adelaide Exchange Concert

Students from Years 10 – 12 are able to participate in this cultural activity each year. This is a ‘co-curricular exchange’ weekend with Sacred Heart College in Somerton, Adelaide each August.  Schools alternate year by year in the hosting of the weekend.  The Exchange is principally a ‘Cultural’ experience for both schools.
