Honor Non Honores

Mission

An Anglican community inspiring every learner every experience every day

Vision

To be a leader in Christian education that is characterised by a global vision that inspires hope

We acknowledge the Dharug, Darkinjung, Wonnarua and Yolŋu peoples who are the traditional custodians of the land on which Barker College, Darkinjung Barker, Ngarralingayil Barker and Dhupuma Barker stand. We pay respect to the Elders past, present and emerging of the Dharug, Darkinjung, Wonnarua and Yolŋu nations and extend that respect to other Indigenous people within the Barker College community.

Tonight is a celebration of the many talents of our Dance students across the School and I invite you to sit back and be entertained by the choreographic quality that has been brought to the stage.

The Dance program at Barker continues to grow and flourish and this is evident by the many students that feature on stage tonight. Our brilliant and dedicated Dance teachers work tirelessly with our students to ensure the performances are first class - challenging the students to reach their potential and stretching the boundaries on stage with new technical skills for students to develop and refine.

We give thanks to God for our students’ giftedness and their dedication to our community. Their passion for dance is invigorating!

Head of Barker College

Welcome to Barker Goes Back to the 80s

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to Barker Goes 80’s - a vibrant and high-energy celebration of dance, creativity, and community. This evening’s performance brings together students from across our campuses, united by a shared passion for dance.

As educators, we are committed to nurturing creativity, confidence, and selfexpression—empowering young dancers to move boldly and purposefully into their future. Through initiatives like the Barker Dance Company, we aim to create meaningful opportunities for students to connect, grow, and experience dance at every stage of their journey. Tonight’s performance is a reflection of that vision, showcasing the diversity of talent and the collaborative spirit that defines our program

Our program continues to evolve with a focus on cohesion and inclusivity, ensuring students feel supported and inspired throughout their dance experience. This evening, you’ll see dancers from Junior, Senior and Mari Mittigar campuses, Kindergarten to Year 12, including some performing for the very first time, sharing their talent, courage, and joy.

We must extend our heartfelt thanks to our exceptional team of instructors. Their expertise, creativity, and unwavering commitment have been instrumental in shaping this program and bringing tonight’s performance to life.

We hope you enjoy the show.
