WHAT. A. DAY. ⚡️SPARK Arts Festival – that’s a wrap!⚡️

From the very first note to the final bow, yesterday’s SPARK Festival was nothing short of electric. A huge thank you to the amazing teachers, dedicated parents, and most of all, the incredible students who brought the entire day (and night!) to life.

But SPARK was more than what happened on stage. Backstage told its own story, of teamwork, guidance, and belonging. Senior students mentoring primaries, stage managers calling cues, runners racing props, stage hands working in sync, the whole event was powered by students supporting each other to shine.

The weather may have made us pack up the Live Jazz and “The Table,” but it didn’t dampen the magic.

These are just a few snaps - professional images are on the way 📸 Keep your eyes peeled, we’ll be sharing more in the coming days!

Thank you for sharing the magic. ✨
