Schools perform at showcase

Several Peninsula schools performed last week at this year's Central Coast Showcase, an event for students from local schools.

Classical, jazz, rock and contemporary music, dance and drama items featured in this year's Showcase.

Students from Year 3 to Year 12 from more than 20 schools performed solo, group and whole-school items over two days.

Hunter and Central Coast regional arts coordinator Ms Lyn Cook said schools from the Peninsula area would include Brisbane Water Secondary College Umina and Woy Woy Campus, Ettalong Public School and Empire Bay Public School.

The Showcase took the form of a Wednesday concert and a Thursday concert, each performed once as a matinee and once in the evening.

The Central Coast Showcase was held at the Laycock Street Theatre, Gosford.
