At Star Train Academy we offer the invaluable experience of live performing for students who want to do more. Every student participates in the end of year concert as well as our mid-year demonstration.
We also offer Star Train Idol for any student participating in song and jazz. Apart from these, if a student indicates a desire to do more performing we have the Performance Groups. Please speak to Paula and Tom for further information.
In the past and up to the present, the Star Train Performance Groups have been part of the school holiday entertainment at Knox City shopping centre, Eastland, Box Hill and Brandon Park. They have performed at the Crown Casino, fetes and festivals.
In 2006 students from Star Train Academy were included in the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games, Moomba 2007, Knox Performing Arts Centre annual holiday entertainment and the annual Myer Christmas Parade.

End of Year Extravaganza
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our end of year concert is a big event for students, teachers and parents. We are gaining a reputation for one of the best concert shows around. It is held at the Besen Centre in Burwood which has state of the art sound and seats close to a thousand people. We present a professional, high standard performance. Prior to the concert every student receives a certificate celebrating their achievement for that year.
Last year's concert was held on Saturday 6 December 2008. To view photographs of this memorable event click here. This year's concert extravaganza will be held on Friday 11 December 2009. Contact Paula for more details.

Students from Star Train Academy participated in the Moomba parade in 2008. The Moomba Parade is a Melbourne icon and Star Train Adcademy was thrilled to be part of the 1500 performers who marched down Swantston Street.
In 2008, our students were part of the History of Migration, Victoria's Legends, the Coastal Region and Rural Production. We can't wait for the 2009 parade which is predicted to be bigger and better.

Dance Out Loud
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Dance Out Loud at the Knox Community Arts Centre, gave our Performance Groups another opportunity to shine. From the opening of Dreamgirls through to the finale of Happy Endings, it was a singing and dancing extravaganza. Not only do these students get to sing live and dance to the general public but also utilise the space they are taught in.
Opportunities to perform outside of the normal performing year is an added bonus and we are thrilled that it is through and for our local community."
