TIMMY AND THE BREAKFAST BAND - Three brilliant musicians used an array of instruments such as the mandolin, musical saw, drums, banjo, cello and even acrobatics in this highly engaging performance, when they visited our school recently. Students discovered how music can influence their own actions, thoughts and emotions through this energetic and unusual pairing of music making and circus. A performance well received by our students!

ZOOSNOOZ OVERNIGHT CAMP - what a unique experience our senior students had earlier this term when they slept over at Taronga Zoo in Sydney. They got to know the animals of the Zoo as they had never known them before. They learned their stories, their secrets and the adaptations that allow them to survive. They had the opportunity for a close encounter with some iconic Australian animals, including sleeping close to some Australian reptiles and sharing their heat lamps on a very cold July night.

SYDNEY HERE WE COME! – Our senior students navigated their way to Sydney on public transport. They visited the Australian Museum where they discovered extraordinary exhibitions on display. Then onto NSW Parliament House where they toured the Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council Chambers and had the opportunity to ask lots of questions about parliament and government. They had fun taking part in a role play where they had the chance to become the Premier, a Minister or Member of Parliament while debating an important issue. They also had the opportunity to meet Mary Lou McDonald, the Irish Republic’s opposition leader, who happened to be visiting Sydney at the time. Then, onto a ferry and a bus to Taronga Zoo, where they stayed overnight.
