CARLO STAR SEARCH
A big thank you to all of the students that have auditioned so far for Carlo Star Search. We have seen a lot of great acts so far, and it is going to make selecting the finalists really difficult.
We are currently finishing off our Stage 2 auditions, before we move into Stage 3.
We are aiming to have our Grand Final show on Monday 12 December at 9:45am. Parents of the finalists are welcome to come and enjoy the show. We hope to be able to announce the list of finalists by the end of Week 9. Make sure to keep practicing even if you have already auditioned, and good luck to all students with their auditions coming up.
Thanks to Mr Pappas for his organisation.
