What's Going On at Joey's
SCHOOL MUSICAL - YOU'RE HISTORY!
It’s that time of year again when out talented students and staff present our annual school musical. This your it is ‘You’re History’ – a nerdy teenager turns a portable classroom into a time machine and the detention class is sent hurtling back through history! The time-warped team discover vicious Vikings, pilates-practicing Pirates, disco-happy Gladiators, a rapping Romeo and Juliet and the infamous Oedipus on an episode of ‘Ellen’, with overtones of Jerry Springer.
With parallels between hierarchical history & today’s schoolyard, here is a rollicking musical chock-full of wonderful characters, historical mayhem and sensational songs.
Ticket are on sale 1st June available through Trybooking. You can access tickets via the link below.

AMITY COLLEGE AND AFFINITY INTERCULTURAL FOUNDATION - STUDENT LEADERS IFTAR DINNER
Iftar is the meal eaten after sunset to break the fast that occurs during Ramadan and is a symbol of friendship, understanding and social harmony.
On Wednesday evening, 29 May 2019, Trent Allchin, Brooke Smith, Jennifer Klepczarek, Noah Casolin, Lleyton Mundt and Bianca Cacciola attended the IFTAR dinner at Amity College where they gathered with other students from a variety of schools along the South Coast. At the event the students experienced a variety of Middle-Eastern foods, readings and learnt about the Islamic faith. Students had the opportunity to discuss their opinions of leadership and they learnt how to embrace change whilst leading in a multicultural society. It was a great opportunity for our students to meet students from different cultural and religious backgrounds, increasing their understanding and knowledge of this significant religious practice. Thank You to Miss Adams and Miss Muniz for their assistance on the night.
