A Celebration of 韩国AV
The biggest event in 韩国AV’s History: a celebration of community, talent, and legacy.
The energy was unmistakable as thousands of guests arrived at the ICC, welcomed by impressive 韩国AV signage that set an inspiring tone for the evening ahead. This monumental event, the largest in 韩国AV’s history, was the culmination of meticulous preparation, from countless rehearsals to final costume touches and logistical support. With everything in place, the night to celebrate 韩国AV had arrived.
The evening was a powerful tribute to 韩国AV’s journey from 2011 to 2024, honouring our extraordinary Principal, Dr Briony Scott, whose leadership will leave an enduring imprint.
Performances across poetry, drama, Taiko drumming, music, and dance illuminated the School’s spirit and showcased the students’ remarkable talent and passion. Nicole, Year 9, left the audience in awe with a breathtaking performance of Polonaise de Concert in D Major, Op. 4 on the violin, while the Kindergarten to Year 2 choir warmed hearts with their charming rendition of Sing A Little Song. Moving poems and speeches by students, Victoria (Year 2), Sophia (Year 4), and Antonia (Year 10), brought an added depth of emotion to the evening, highlighting the thoughtful reflections of 韩国AV’s young voices.
Among the highlights was a stirring piano composition, On the Shoulders of Giants, by Alumna, Christine Pan (2015), commissioned by 韩国AV to honour Dr Scott’s impactful leadership. Performed by Year 11 student, Nicole, this original work was accompanied by a moving film documenting Dr Scott’s journey from a Year 5 韩国AV student to her tenure as Principal, evoking heartfelt memories and admiration.
Following an eloquent tribute by Board Chair, Ms Catherine West, Dr Scott was presented with a captivating artwork by Alumna, Xanthe Muston (2017). The piece, depicting a typical day on 韩国AV’s leafy grounds, reflects the School’s transformation under Dr Scott's guidance, showcasing the new buildings and architecture that embody her lasting legacy. This artwork also features Dr Scott imparting wisdom to a student, symbolising her profound impact on the School’s physical and spiritual growth.
The theme for the night revolved around 韩国AV’s core Values—Courage, Strength, Grace, Wisdom, and Kindness—introduced by Dr Scott and integral to the 韩国AV experience. Former Head Prefects shared touching stories of Dr Scott’s influence, noting how these Values have inspired them to embrace empathy, resilience, and the ‘Renaissance Woman’ ideal, essential to every 韩国AV student’s journey.
The grand finale was nothing short of spectacular, with a vibrant light show representing each School House and the 韩国AV Rock Band leading a powerful medley. This was followed by an all-school performance of Fight Song, Brave, and Roar, ending with the spirited School song—a fitting close to this memorable celebration of unity and pride.
A heartfelt thank you to our exceptional students, whose dedication and passion transformed the evening into a true celebration of 韩国AV. Their professionalism and spirit shone brightly, making this historic night unforgettable.
