Spring 2015
BATTLE OF THE BANDS The annual Battle of the Bands is a high-energy favourite of the DC community, providing an energetic finale to Term 2. Each of our five Houses forms a band with members from Years 6-13, selects their songs, rehearses and then performs in front of the whole school. It is an excellent way for our students to authentically demonstrate many of the learner profile attributes. This competition provides an outlet for students to express themselves and their passions. It not only shows their talent, but also the determination and time students are willing to commit to putting on professional-level performances. One of the key purposes of the House system is to get students to mix and work with others in different year levels. The Battle of the Bands shows this purpose in action. Each and every member of the bands demonstrates their courage by being willing to put themselves up in front of a whole school audience. This year Re Tu (Yellow) House earned top honours closely followed by Lie Huo (Red) and Jin Shu (Purple) Houses. All Houses gave complex performances that showcased their talent and teamwork.
