Japanese Drumming Excursion

This week all the students in Grades 3,4,5 &6 went on an excursion to Box Hill Community Arts Centre to watch and participate in a drumming workshop. The workshop was very engaging for all students, not only did the students watch a fantastic performance, but they also learnt how to play the drums. Each student was given the opportunity to get upon stage and learn how to play the drums. It was a fantastic event for all. Stay tuned for the videos!!

CIRCUS SKILLS 2011

Circus Skills lessons have started for 2011. It has been a fantastic beginning to Term 2, all the students in Grade 5/6A are loving the circus skills lessons. This year our trainer is Ben and so far we have been using hula hoops, poi, diablo, scarves and spinning plates. We have also tried some of the different balances. At the end of term all the grades will be going on an excursion to the Little Devils circus studio in Box Hill South. It will be a fantastic opportunity for all students and staff to have a go at the more challenging activities.

2011

So far Term 1 has turned out to be a very busy year. We have started the year in our BRAND NEW building. It is very exciting to be in our new building and to be enjoying the facilities. We have had a rather successful start to Inter School Sport. This year we are playing against Old Orchard, Box Hill Nth, Wattle Park and Our Lady of Good Counsel. We have had a few wins and it is great to see the outstanding sportsmanship displayed by all players.

Next week we head off to camp. This year's camp is at Forest Lodge in Jack River, everyone is every excited and looking forward to a fabulous 4 days away.
