Out and About the School

Bodies in Motion

On Thursday, November 28, Students from grades 2, 3 and 4 had the opportunity to attend the matinee performance of The Gunnedah Gymnastics Centres' Bodies in Motion . The talented gymnasts performing in the show came from schools throughout the Gunnedah District, including St Xaviers. Many gymnasts have successfully competed during 2024 at Regional, Country and State Championships level.

It was a wonderful performance to watch and well done to our students that were involved in the performance.

School Band

Throughout 2024 the numbers in the school band has been slowing increasing and we now have around 25 members, ranging from very new to experienced players.

On Sunday, December 1, students in the St Xavier's School Band where invited to perform at the Gunnedah Shire Band Hall. They also had the opportunity to combine with the other bands to perform a finale item which involved over 50 musicians. A very important part of learning a musical instrument is having the opportunity to perform for an audience; and also to be part of an audience and listen to others play.

Parents were also invited to listen to the St Xavier's School Band play at this weeks assembly on Monday.

On Wednesday, the last day for lessons in 2024, some students from the band presented Mr Rowe with a small gift of appreciation for sharing his time and expertise with St Xavier's students.
