EAC you did it again! Absolutely fabulous production ! First class Thank you
Thank you Sharon Cadwallader, Councillor Ballina Shire Council for such high praise. We couldn't agree with you more!On behalf of our community, I would like to sincerely congratulate the entire team at Emmanuel College Ballina on the outstanding production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. What an absolutely exceptional performance. The creativity, professionalism, energy and talent displayed throughout the production were truly remarkable. It was a joy and a privilege to be there and witness so many shining stars performing with such confidence and passion. Congratulations and gratitude to Wayne Cross, Executive Producer, Anushka Gammon, Director, and Shure Manu, Choreographer, volunteers who all absolutely excelled in bringing this incredible production to life. Their leadership, vision and dedication were evident in every aspect of the show. Productions of this calibre do not happen without enormous teamwork, commitment and support behind the scenes, and Emmanuel College should be incredibly proud of what has been achieved. To have such an outstanding performance presented within one of our beautiful local schools speaks volumes about the culture, talent and opportunities being fostered within your college community. I would also like to acknowledge and thank the sponsors whose support helped make this production possible — Rannick, Design Group Architects, McGrath Northern Rivers Group, Kindred Care, Hughie’s, Mumbai Masala, Ballina Coast Dental, Lennox Head Scaffolding and Beacon Veterinary. Community partnerships such as these play an important role in supporting arts and culture opportunities for our young people.
Thank you again for the opportunity to attend such a memorable production. It was truly amazing, and everyone involved should feel enormously proud. ... See MoreSee Less

🏐 NETBALL NSW FAST 5
Huge congratulations to our incredible Year 12 students who hit the courts for the annual Netball NSW Fast 5 competition in Ballina last Friday!
We entered three teams into the social mixed competition and they absolutely dominated the court. The unique Fast 5 format brought a wild, fast paced style of play where tactical "Power Plays" doubled the points and a flurry of long range 2-point shots flipped the scorelines in the blink of an eye. Our teams adapted brilliantly to the chaos, playing a total of 15 games throughout the day and only losing one!
As our senior students edge closer to the end of their schooling, this tournament was a much-needed opportunity to take a well-deserved break from the books, destress and just enjoy some friendly competition together.
What makes us even prouder than the incredible scoreboard results, was the way they conducted themselves. The entire day was played in fantastic spirit, with outstanding sportsmanship shown by everyone involved. ... See MoreSee Less

On Friday night, we celebrated the opening of 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' with a special Opening Night Soiree.
Our wonderful sponsors joined our Principal, Mr Tobias, to toast the launch of this spectacular production and acknowledge the months of work by Director Anouska Gammon, Choreographer Sher Manu, Producer Wayne Cross and the entire team.
The highlight of the evening was Mr Tobias' impromptu interview with two of the lead cast members, Aurelien R. and Ted G., who charmed the audience with their reflections on being part of the show.
🎟️ DON'T MISS OUT! Best seats available for the Thursday 5pm and Friday 7pm shows this week - get your golden tickets while you can! www.eac.nsw.edu.au
