OPENING OF NILA LEWIS PERFORMING ARTS CENTRE AT
Local MP Philip Ruddock attended the recent opening of the Nila Lewis Performing Arts Centre, a much-valued facility for Pennant Hills High School.
Rehearsal and storage space is provided in the building which has been named in honour of retired Deputy Principal Nila Lewis, who worked with students at Pennant Hills High for 19 of her 40 year teaching career.
Mr Ruddock and his State colleague, Greg Smith MP praised the enthusiasm and talent of the performing arts students, particularly those involved in the very well-respected school bands which had not only toured China, Japan and the USA but had performed at showcase events at the Sydney Opera House.
Mr Ruddock also congratulated the school which met, from its own resources, $50,000 of the total $150,000 project cost.
