Jesuit Schools were among the first to recognise the importance of the Arts in educating the whole
person: intellectually, spiritually and personally. In 2000, Peter-Hans Kolvenbach, S.J., the Superior
General of the Jesuit order stated that “Tomorrow’s whole person cannot be whole without an educated awareness
of society and culture with which to contribute socially, generously, in the real world.”
The Arts can inspire curiosity, imagination and flexibility. It can also develop a sense of wonder,
encourage active engagement in the world and the ability to see God in all things. Enshrined in the
principle of cura personalis – care for the entire person – is the development of his or her own special talents.
Our ideal of the vir eloquens – the eloquent person – ensures that these talents can be gracefully and
confidently expressed.
Through Drama and Music, the Performing Arts enables students to refine and experience the world of
expression through performance. Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview provides students with extensive
opportunities in both Academic and Co-Curricular activities. The Music and Drama staff ensure that
students are inspired and prepared to perform to their highest level. We would like to thank both the staff
and students for their commitment and dedication throughout the year.
Please enjoy the vast array of performances for 2018.

The Enchanted Bookshop
Written by Todd Wallinger
We all know that bookshops are magical places…but this bookshop is more magical than most.
Meet the characters of the stories as they come to life to help save a struggling bookshop whose
owner is not much of a businessman. Their job gets a whole lot harder when the bookshop is caught
in the middle of a jewel smuggling ring. Can the characters help Mr McNamee save his business
and fend off the shady figures who are determined to destroy his precious books? Just how much
influence can a motley cast of book characters have? Watch Dorothy, Robin Hood and Sherlock
Holmes work together to save their friends and their beloved bookshop.
Quiet Please
Written by Dale Clarke
“Mouse” has lost his pen, which is no problem, really except that he’s also lost his shoe and Mr.
Terrence would love to give another detention. Meanwhile, between assignments, study skills, long
lessons and trying to check football scores without getting caught, high school is an easy place to
feel stressed… just don’t let anyone know that that’s how you feel.

The only survivors are secondary students from differing schools. With no adult survivors, they create their own society to survive. However, as rescue becomes increasingly unlikely, this once utopian civilisation begins to turn on itself, with horrendous consequences. Based on the 1954 novel by Nobel Prize-winning British author William Golding, Lord of the Flies addresses the idea of civilisation verses savagery and the loss of innocence. Presented by Year 11 students, this production is sure to challenge your understanding of what it takes to survive. “We did everything adults would do, what went wrong?” “Kill the pig... Whose side are you on?” D I R EC T O R : PAU L B E V IS A S S I S TA N T D I R EC T O R : KIRK HUME 6 | PERFORMING ARTS 2018 PERFORMING ARTS 2018 | 7

Paul Dreyfus, once his long-suffering boss, now turned into a raving lunatic, holds the world at bay with the ultimate weapon, the Doomsday Machine. Dreyfus is out to get Clouseau, the man whose undeserved success has driven him crazy, and he threatens to vaporise continents if the nations of the world don't deliver Clouseau to him—alive or, if at all possible, dead! Blissfully unaware that the army of deadly assassins is gunning for him, Clouseau incredibly stumbles and slips by every attack. However, the world is running out of time because the increasingly frustrated Dreyfus, doodling with the Doomsday Machine, is running out of patience...
