Daphne Vili competed in the 2015 Captivate's Got Talent last month at Xavier College where she successfully auditioned for the program and was one of 13 dance acts selected from 40 high calibre works.
She participated in a mentoring day where she worked with industry professionals and then performed in front of a panel of judges, members of CEO and parents. Daphne was awarded the PROFESSIONAL OPPORTUNITY AWARD given to a student who could move into a semi professional career in their field.
BJ Rourke, from Season 1 So You Think You Can Dance, was on the judging panel and personally awarded her a workshop scholarship with industry leaders at his studio, A-Live Performing Arts Centre, Penrith. Alissa Buttiglieri, an ex Marian College student and life coach , will be working with Daphne on goal setting, life skills, etc.
An exciting moment for Daphne will be an appearance in Jayden Rodrigues' (X Factor) and NeWest's next film clip. This is an awesome opportunity for Daphne and we wish her luck in the future.

This student-led initiative, planned by our Year 12 SRC in collaboration with Mrs Karafotias and Mrs Dwyer, aligns with National Skills Week and aims to inspire and inform students as they explore future career pathways. Students will be exposed to a wide range of opportunities beyond school, including university, vocational education and training (VET), apprenticeships, and employment. They will engage with industry professionals, alumni, and guest speakers, including Adam Newman (The Careers Guy), gaining valuable real-world insights. Students are invited to dress as their future career aspiration, ensuring attire is appropriate and respectful. All footwear must be enclosed. A โWhen I Grow Upโ photo station will be available throughout the day. Students not dressed in career clothing will be required to dress in full- school winter uniform. A detailed schedule has been shared via Compass.
