Today we had a wonderful visit from Mara! We sang and danced along to a variety of songs and were introduced to some beautiful instruments. Thank you so much to the P&C for this fantastic opportunity for our students through Musica Viva. Thank you to Miss Hibbert for teaching and preparing our students with music and lyrics to this fantastic folk music from around the world!
Well done to our senior choir and Miss Hibbert for their amazing performance at last night’s Cluster Choir event. Watch a video of their performance below and come and see them perform live at our Hall of Fame assembly in Week 10.
Students in K-6 were delighted by the Makukuhan performers for Musica Viva. They listened to and performed a variety of Indonesian songs and dances, including many instruments. Ms Hibbert has been working with classes on Indonesian songs this term. The performance today was a fantastic opportunity for students to meet professional musicians and build on their understanding of Indonesian music and culture.
Thank you to the wonderful musicians who performed for us today. The students thoroughly enjoyed the show. A special thanks to the Tighes Hill P&C for making this experience possible for our students. Below are some photos from the Musica Viva performance:
The crowd was silent. Jude stepped up to the stage. He took a deep breath and struck his first chord. The audience sat with their mouths agape. Here they were, in the presence of a super star.
Special thanks to Jude for sharing his musical talents with us at the Y3-6 Assembly today. Please remember us when you are a famous musician!
Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate Harmony Day. We had a wonderful day focusing on this year’s theme, ‘our diversity is our strength’. Students took part in a range of cultural activities throughout the day which began with our Year 6s helping students from each class to create a Mandala installation using recycled bottle tops on the bottom court. Thank you to Jane for organising and leading this activity – the finished Mandala looked absolutely beautiful! Our Year 5s worked with their kinder buddies to make worry dolls. All students contributed to this year’s whole school art project – a giant Koinobori fish – by painting and sharing their handprint and all students created their own totem which will be made into a whole school totem display. Thanks to the canteen for their terrific effort, making over 400 lunches today! We raised over $250 in donations which will go towards our World Vision sponsor student, Subrata Das, from Bangladesh. Our student performances were excellent. Thanks to our wonderful music teacher Miss Hibbert for organising this year’s performance items. Below is a slideshow with moments from today’s celebrations.
