Hello everyone! How the last two weeks have galloped by, and all of a sudden, the Autumn school holidays will be upon us. Music has been spinning out across the school with multiple threads, and I’m really looking forward to all the students, who have been singing away rehearsing in Home Groups, coming together to …
So, if swan choreography isn’t quite your thing, dance like a chicken! Thanks to some students from Yr 4/5 who conceded to ‘do the swan thing’ if they could ‘do the Chicken Dance’, 😄, the whole school now knows the correct moves for the Chicken Dance, and the safe and correct way to dance an …
Fantastico, Magnifico, Eccellente to all the students who have performed in the past couple of weeks. The last weeks of Term 4 feel like one joyous performance celebration after another.

Welcome back to our final Term of the year! Right from the first Health & PE lesson, students have been engaged in a number of different sporting codes and games. But it was one sport, in particular, that everyone was really looking forward to and that was Table Tennis! Late last Term, and through student …
Hello to everyone. We have had a fabulous couple of weeks ’fine tuning’ ideas for the Neighbourhood bell soundscapes, and learning songs for the Father’s and Special Carer’s Day Assembly and the Ringing in the Galaxy concert. The Instrumental Music Assembly saw students break through their initial nerves and then beam with a sense of …
Coburg Athletics track – THE day started with strong drizzle and it didn’t hold off until after 9am! There was even a point the District leaders almost made the call to postpone the occasion. But in the end, the sun did burst through the clouds and the event was run with full success! All 57 …
