An initiative of the Catholic Schools Office, Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle, ASPIRE provides opportunity for students with a passion for the performing arts to grow, perform and shine.
  • Public Speaking - students compete at school and the Diocesan level to develop the quality of their speaking skills.
