CHOIR AND VOCAL ENSEMBLE PERFORMANCES...

The Choir and the Vocal Ensemble sang several songs at their assembly today and did a very good job, much to the credit of our Music Teacher, Mrs Robinson. Thank you to Mrs Robinson and her accompanyist friend Dale Kircher... The video clips don't do justice to the hard work and competence of our singers, but are a glimpse of the talent we have both in our staff and our students. Note: The loud "bang" heard in the Choir's second song, is a noisy worker loading a truck outside the assembly area.

School Choir - "On With The Show"...

School Choir - "One Voice, One Song"

Vocal Ensemble - "It's A Lovely Day"...

Vocal Ensemble - "Hallelujah"...

ANZAC BISCUITS... The Year 6/7's have been working hard making lots of ANZAC Biscuits as part of their studies into the ANZAC's. The staff were very tempted to sample some, as they cooled after being taken out of the stove in the staffroom before lunch.
