What’s on in 2020
Performing Arts The Performing Arts is a constant within the cultural life of the College. Each year, our Performing Arts Captains’ Concert raises awareness and funds for a different charity selected by the students. It takes place in the final week of term.
Term Two features two major productions, our Middle School Play, “The Jungle Book” based on the book by Rudyard Kipling, and the VCE Production of “Eurydice” an epic love story from Greek mythology (see upcoming Events for details). The Emerging Performers Showcase and Winter Music Soiree are our two mid-year Music Concerts where students from all areas of the College get to share their talents.
Term Three starts off offering laughs galore with our 2020 College Musical “The Addams Family”. The stage musical depicts the ghoulish American family with an affinity for all things macabre. Although numerous film and television adaptations of Addams’ cartoons exist, this musical is the first stage show based on the characters.
Our College Play to be presented in October will be a stage adaptation of Joan Lindsay’s novel, “Picnic At Hanging Rock”. Set in 1900, it is about a group of female students at an Australian girls’ boarding school who vanish at Hanging Rock while on a Valentine’s Day picnic, and the effects the disappearances have on the school and local community.
We close the year with the Twilight Outdoor Show featuring the launch of our 2020 student recording and Director’s Choice Gala Concert, where we re-visit the amazing talents of Aitken students who have performed throughout the year together with the opportunity to celebrate some of our past students.

MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL

At Aitken College education is about providing opportunities and experiences for young people. There is a commitment to academic excellence and striving to achieve your personal best. Creativity is seen as an integral part of using knowledge. However, knowledge without a belief system is worthless and we encourage young people to engage in the exploration of self, community and global responsibility.
The choice of a school for your child is an important one. I warmly invite you to visit our school so that you may discover the value of an Aitken education. The best way to gain an impression is to meet the students and staff and participate in the community activities that are offered.
