The St Joseph’s Secondary School annual concert won the hearts of a capacity au­dience during a two-hour musical extravaganza at the FMF Gymna­sium in Suva on Thursday night.

The quality performances by the all girls Suva-based school attract­ed more than 800 people.

With the theme for the concert titled ‘Civilization of Love’ most in attendance went home revital­ized with the message of what love means.

The students explained the mean­ing of love by their excellent per­formances on stage in their many different items and motions.

It was a night of entertainment that brought families and friends ,together to understand the girls message through their traditional, modern and dramatic dances.

The school’s former principal, Sister Genevieve Loo, said the stu­dents produced a simple, but com­pelling message that each person had a role to play and to become an agent of change for others by culti­vating a responsible attitude.

She added that it took them five months to come up with a theme for the concert which about 630 students had an opportunity to in­terpret.

“That love is genuine that can bring about change and unity among people and one another. This is love which motivates us to serve,” Sister Loo said.

The school’s head girl, Julie Tam­ani, 18, said that this was her final year of participating in the concert and she would miss being part of the event in the years to come.

“This is exciting and also sad be­cause this is my last year and I am making memories of this concert,” she said.
