Lara dances her heart away
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 in Action
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.

    The season of Lent invites us to pause and reflect on the values that deepen our compassion and strengthen our shared responsibility for one another. It is a time for reflection that creates space for growth, humility that grounds us in our common humanity, self-discipline that draws us back to what truly matters, and generosity expressed through acts of compassion and kindness.
