☂️✨ The house was fuller than Mary’s carpet bag! ✨☂️

Day 3 of The Arts Unit’s Combined Schools Musical – Mary Poppins brought another magical performance to a completely sold-out house at Murwillumbah High School! 🎭🎶

It was wonderful to see students from schools across the region — including smaller schools and distance education — come together to share the stage. 🌟

Different schools, different communities and plenty of kilometres between them, all united to create one brilliant show! ❤️

👏 Congratulations to the cast, musicians, crew, staff and everyone involved in another fantastic performance. The audience filled every seat and the stage was bursting with energy! 🪁✨

🏫 A special shout-out to the schools involved:

Banora Point High School • Barkers Vale Public School • Bogangar Public School • Public School • Maclean Public School - MPS • Murwillumbah East Public School • Southern Cross School of Distance Education • Tweed Heads South Public School • Uki Public School

Our partner, Primary English Teaching Association Australia (PETAA), would like to congratulate all the teachers and students participating in the NSW Premier's Reading Challenge! PETAA is a proud supporter of the challenge, and of the work teachers do every day in schools to transform student lives with reading, imagination, and learning.

“It is not enough to simply teach children to read; we have to share worthwhile books – that will stretch their imaginations, help them make sense of their worlds and lives – and encourage them to reach out to people who are different to themselves – who lead different lives” (Katherine Patterson, author of Bridge to Terabithia).
