Abba stayin’ alive!
THE Name of the Game was to not let an unexpected downpour dampen enthusiasm for the amazing ‘A Night to Remember’ production which was staged at Dubbo Regional Theatre last Saturday night February 27.
As the doors opened more than 330 people poured in to catch the lyrical action.
The production was a merger of two internationally acclaimed shows ‘Abba Re-bjorn’ and ‘The Ultimate Bee Gees’, who joined forces for a super ‘disco night’ in a showcase spectacular.
Collating five decades of super hits from ABBA and the Bee Gees in a high-octane show, the ABBA and The Bee Gees Show has been hailed as the ultimate night of entertainment.
The crowd thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
CONDITIONS were perfect for the annual Senior Campus swimming carnival and a fantastic day was had by all with an entertaining mix of competitive, not so competitive and novelty events which saw many students have the opportunity to mingle and excel.
Briganera House won the day with an overall point score of 466, followed by Yarradaroo, 425, Parayong, 253 and Macoolari, 236.
Champions were Merryn Chapman and Hamish Wood for Year 11 who both set new records for the 17 years medley, and Chloe Williams and Aston Warwick
for Year 12.
In the novelty events the ‘terrible trio’ of Izzy Attwater, Ebony Furner and Ellie Purtell were first to cross the line with an innovative combination of power and aerodynamics. The champion belly flopper in 2021 was Lachlan O’malley the tug of war saw Yarradaroo, Parayong and Macoolari all enjoy victories.
In the competitive swimming events of the day the highlight was the year 11 girl’s competition, with Merryn Chapman, Trinity Rufus, Alicia Fernando, Ashleigh Carlow and Elle Mulholland having some great competition through-out the day.
The mixed relay was taken out by Yarradaroo in a strong time of 2.02.63 mins.
IT was another day of fun and competition at Dubbo Aquatic Leisure Centre with the Dubbo Macquarie Anglican Grammar Junior School Swimming Carnival.
Some very good times were recorded and a new record set while Dubbo Photo News was there.
Well done to all involved with many parents showing support and the teachers doing a fantastic job.
