We have now concluded this year’s dance lessons for 2020. We will be back and ready to dance in 2021! Term 1 will commence on Saturday 6th February. We are planning a big celebration to welcome you all back to classes in 2021!
Read MoreWhat a year 2020 has been! Here at the Lyceum, teachers and students were planning something very special for 2020, but then the world was struck with the Coronavirus!
So, what did the Lyceum do? They did what they do best - kept dancing - but virtually!
The Lyceum Committee was quick to respond to recommendations from the state and federal government and quickly moved all classes to online learning. This way, students could keep in touch with their learning and also keep in touch socially with classmates and teachers. The online learning was very successful, and students enjoyed keeping up with their regular classes.
In the future, we hope to be able to continue providing our online community with resources to keep the Greek culture alive and provide education on Greek heritage to those wishing to learn.
Today we have learnt we have been successful for the Expand Together Grant through Multicultural SA. This is the equipment grant that will now enable us to store the school's music and to combine multiple pieces of music together so that new dance choreography can be performed. We will be using the new routines for our upcoming performances this festival season.
These tools will provide the teachers with the capability and flexibility needed to work together to have the dance routines ready for students and to lift the level of dance performance to the next level. In addition, we are now in a position to be able to connect more effectively with other Greek dance groups to share ideas and collabroate for future performances and concerts.
Update 14th March 2020
As part of our continued commitment to you, we have created a virtual classroom through YouTube which we will make available for Greek Lyceum students. We have been able to achieve this using the equipment that was purchased recently under the Expand Together Grant (see details above). The purpose of this YouTube channel will be to privately share videos to our students which will enable them to learn dances at home if they are not able to attend classes. At this time, as we have cancelled lessons pending the outcome of the COVID-19 situation, we will upload videos each week so students can continue to keep in touch with their dancing virtually!
The Greek Lyceum of SA wishes to thank the Hon Jing Lee MLC Assistant Minister to the Premier and the Government of South Australia for their support in the purchase of these items that will help to make the Greek Lyceum of South Australia even better!
