Colour Run/Year 6 Graduation/What's Still to Come/5-6 Timetables    

Colour Run

On Friday 14th November Upwey South held a whole school colour run to raise money for new and improved works being done around the school. It was a very fun day (how lucky were we to get some Melbourne sun!). All students who participated did an amazing job at getting as wet and colourful as possible!

The Year Six students have been working hard at learning their graduation song and dance. All students have engaged really well with their practice rehearsals and we look forward to seeing them perform at graduation on the 11th of December.
