It’s back to the books for Year 12 student Ethan Betts, who appeared in Trinity Catholic College Goulburn’s rendition of the popular Disney film, High School Musical, as the male lead Troy Bolton. Stepping into those white basketball sneakers wasn’t a stretch for seasoned actor Betts, with performances from the Lieder Theatre under his belt.

Female lead, Rowena Russell, played Ethan’s on-stage flame, Gabriella Montez, at East High School. For Rowena, singing is second nature and also sees a lot of herself in her character. Rowena is not shy when it comes to performing in front of a crowd and enjoyed the opportunity to be involved.

Both Troy and Gabriella audition for the school’s musical when Sharpay Evans, the high school diva, tries almost anything to interfere with their friendship and snag a spot in the musical with the help of her brother Ryan Evans.

Despite the tension at their school, Bolton and Montez push through and inspire others to not “stick to the status quo.”

“It expresses a great message about the struggles of being in high school and what is expected of you,” said senior student Jesse Price. “Everyone is involved in so much, and this is a musical about encouraging people to step out of their groups and really explore what else they are good at in life.”

Disney’s High School Musical was a great choice for Trinity Catholic College to show showcase the many talents of our musicians, performers and athletes. The four performances, and one open rehearsal for our local feeder schools and aged care facilities, wouldn’t have been possible without the time or care of our volunteers.

Forming our unique force of volunteers were our teachers, students, Alumni, administrators, maintenance crew, parents and grandparents who all worked together to create a wonderful show.

Together they have painted, sewed, hammered, glued, paper-mached, hair-sprayed, danced, applied make up, dressed, managed backstage, directed, supervised, photographed, ushered, fed, created melodic music and much more!

To all our Wildcat supporters, we say thank you!
