Student Banking System
Unfortunately, the school has come to the conclusion that the time involved in administering the school banking programs is unjustifiable given the low numbers of students that are participating in them and has therefore decided to cease offering this service as at the completion of the 2019 school year.
Pieces of a Puzzle - 5/6 Music Album
'Pieces of a Puzzle' is a 10 song album written by each of the Year 5/6 classes with Mr Wanders and Gerry Holmes during 2019.
Each class wrote lyrics together in their PAC lessons. Gerry wrote music and students came up with lyrics with help from Mr Wanders.
"The songs are about what life is like for kids at their age. We captured a little of what they do and say and things that matter to them. Challenges, heartaches, fish lasagne – stuff like that!" (Gerry Holmes)
When the lyrics and music were done Gerry recorded each class singing in the classrooms. Small groups and soloists recorded in the school's recording studio. The kids' voices are simply beautiful!
Next came electric and acoustic guitars, sax, bass, drums and keyboards from Gerry, Mr Thompson, Mr Messenger and Jono Callow. You will be blown away by the quality that came together as Jono and Gerry mixed and then mastered this unique collection of voices, stories and prayers. Note Jono's sound effects on “Rain” and “Time”.
Even Mr Wanders sang!
He comments, “These songs are amazing. They make me laugh and cry. These students are amazing, too.”
'Pieces Of A Puzzle' exhibits what these students are capable of and how truly miraculous their imaginations are.
