Lara is preparing to represent Australia at the Dance World Cup

This has been a big year for Lara Griffiths from 5B. The 10 year old dancer will travel to Spain this month to represent Australia in the 2018 Dance World Cup. The Dance World Cup will host over 12,000 competitors from 47 countries, and this tiny dancer will be dancing alongside the world’s best. Qualification for this event is a huge achievement for such a young dancer. Lara is super excited by this opportunity and is looking forward to performing on the world stage and eating churros with some new friends.

Lara recently competed in the Hollywood Bound Dance Championships held at sea on Royal Caribbean’s Explorer of the Seas. Lara took out the Junior age category and was awarded the prestigious title of "Junior Dancer of the Seas". Lara was also awarded an overall third placing across all age categories, which included competitors aged up to 18 years of age.
Rep Jacket for Lara

Dancing is often not thought of as a sport, but the physicality and training it requires is as demanding as any other sport, including soccer. Lara has been working hard to prepare for this event with her teacher Lisa Holt at PAC Station Dance Studio in Seven Hills.

Our Lady Queen of Peace Primary Greystanes, recently welcomed a visit from Dr Hugh McDermott, State Member for Prospect. The school was awarded a $60,000 Community Building Partnerships grant, and Dr McDermott presented the school with a ceremonial cheque. During his visit, Dr McDermott spent time with some of our students and, alongside Fr. Paul Roberts, OLQP Parish Priest, delivered an engaging talk about the three levels of government and his own personal connection to the Greystanes community. The grant will make a significant contribution toward the construction of a large shade structure over the school playground. The school looks forward to seeing the new shade structure fully installed upon returning from the October school holidays.
