A year at our school

Performing at the Opera House and Town Hall
Each year, our choirs, stings and recorders grace the stage of the Opera House and Town Hall. The experience is a
celebration of talent, dedication, and the joy of making music together on one of the world’s most famous stages. One of our very own teachers, Ms Clay is a conductor at the festival and after a rigorous audition process, May S in Year 4 has been selected by the Arts Unit panel as the soloist this year!

Magic of Music Camp, Deer Park
Where words fail, music speaks - Hans Christian Andersen
Throughout the two days we learnt new ways of playing music and our instruments. These two days were a fantastic way to express ourselves. Although we worked super hard and it was very tiring, it was very rewarding to learn a brand new piece. -Achira B

Cooling the School
Students in Stage Two worked with Ms Bairaktaridis and parent volunteers to plant over 250 native shrubs and trees to create a cooler and greener school where our students and children thrive. The project was funded by the NSW Government as past of the Greening our City program and was delivered in conjunction with DeadlyEd, whose mission is to all children can get access to quality and authentic Aboriginal Education.
