From the Principal

Wakakirri

Last night was a huge opportunity for the Year 5 and 6 children to perform at the Norwood Town Hall for the Wakakirri National Story-Dance Festival. The experience of many months of planning and rehearsals at school, and a full dress rehearsal during the day at the venue, culminated in a spectacular evening performance. 

Thank you to all parents and caregivers, as well as extended family volunteers who supported with costumes, props and sets. A particular thank you to our staff team who spent many, many hours preparing both in work time and personal time. Their commitment to our performing arts program is massive. 

It was a privilege to watch such a well-rehearsed performance last night, with all children staying in character right until the end. Congratulations to all Year 5 and 6 children!
