End of Term 3

Just a quick note to say thank you to all of our parents, carers and families for your support over the last term.  Thank you for your many volunteer hours, for your support of our learning programs and for participating in school events.  I hope you all have the opportunity to enjoy some downtime over the break, and we look forward the fun that term 4 brings.

Stars on Stage

Stars on Stage – Celebrating Our Students

 

When 28 of our students took to the stage at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre for the Public Primary Schools Festival of Music Stars on Stage, they shone with confidence and pride.

The Primary Schools Festival of Music is an iconic South Australian tradition that has inspired generations. It gives students the chance to experience artistic excellence, embrace cultural diversity, and celebrate social inclusion through the joy of performance.

Each concert featured 1,300 Year 5 and 6 students joining voices in a breathtaking massed choir. Audiences were also treated to Guest Artists from primary and secondary schools, vibrant performances across a range of musical genres, and impressive showcases from the orchestra and troupe.

This year’s concert opened with Robbie Williams’ electrifying Let Me Entertain You and closed on a powerful high with John Farnham’s iconic You’re the Voice, complete with stirring bagpipes that lifted the arena.

Stars on Stage was truly a spectacular celebration of what public school students can achieve when they come together through music and the arts. We are incredibly proud of our students for their hard work, passion, and brilliance on stage.  Thanks to all of our staff involved in the choir, we could not be a part of this spectacular event without the generous donation of time.

What a fantastic opportunity for all involved.
