🕺 Junior Dance Program Kicks Off With Energy and Excitement! 🎶

Today marked the exciting launch of our Term 2 Junior Dance Program for Foundation to Grade 2 students—and what a fantastic time we had! Led by Jewel from Decipher Dance, our young performers warmed up, learned new moves, and embraced the rhythm with energy, smiles, and enthusiasm.

Across each session, students were introduced to a fun and funky dance style that blends precision with playful movement. There was laughter, teamwork, and a real buzz in the gym as our junior dancers explored musicality, coordination, and performance skills in a supportive environment.

Over the coming weeks, students will continue to build toward a special performance at assembly. Without giving too much away… let’s just say there might be a touch of teamwork, a hint of sporting flair, and a finale that’s sure to get everyone moving in audience!

We can’t wait to see how the routines come together—and we know our audience is in for a treat. Stay tuned!

Indonesian Cultural Day

On Friday 23rd of May, Trafalgar Primary School hosted Baguskan for our annual Indonesian Cultural Day.  It was a fantastic day celebrating different aspects of Indonesia’s rich and vibrant culture!  

Students in Years 3-6 participated in workshops run by Aaron and Nina, learning about Indonesian gamelan (percussion orchestra) and traditional dance. Students in Foundation-Year 2 watched a Wayang Kulit (shadow puppet) performance and participated in becak rides around the school yard!   

At the end of the day, all students who participated in workshops had an opportunity to perform either dance or gamelan in front of their peers, in a final performance retelling a traditional Indonesian cultural story.  

Terima kasih banyak, Aaron and Nita for all your hard work in running such a fantastic event for our school!!
