Infants Drama Club
Infants Drama Club was a huge success this week. We became aware of the different ways we can move and how we express a variety of emotions, using our faces and bodies. We loved making frozen pictures with our friends and miming everyday activities.

Young Archie Competition
We are always looking for opportunities for our students to create artworks with a purpose. This year one of our goals is to enter pieces into the prestigious “Young Archie” portraiture prize held by the Art Gallery of NSW. This highly coveted exhibition is designed for junior artists to demonstrate their skills by creating a portrait of someone they know and who has been a positive influence on them. Students may also create a self portrait. We are very proud to announce that the following student’s artworks have been entered into the 2021 “Young Archie” competition:
Aaron Biju - ‘One Calm Dad’
Matilda Kos - ‘My Pop’
Spencer Searle - ‘A Photo of Me’
Axel Davidson - ‘Rock Lobster’
Jasmine Howell - ‘ My Sister - Mystical Mia’
Bonnie Russell - ‘In the Reflection’
Millie Paine - 'Here Comes The Sun'
Phoenix Charnock - ‘My Dad’
Lawson Bentley - ‘My Dad’
Emerence Young - ‘Eme’
Elsie Enriquez - ‘Where I Feel Calm’
Zara Lawrence - ‘Little Wild Child’
We look forward to hearing about their success at the end of May. Good luck everyone!
Junkyard Beats
Our Stage 2 (Years 3 and 4) students are very fortunate to be going to see a performance at the Glasshouse called ‘Junkyard Beats’ on Thursday 18th March.
Students will learn about sustainability with this high energy, imaginative music-in-education performance combining drumming, dance, theatre and comedy.
In the hands of Junkyard Beats, ordinary household items are transformed into extraordinary musical instruments and unwanted junk comes alive in exciting and surprising ways! They will follow four characters during their daily activities in a world made of cardboard boxes and junk. The contents of an abandoned kitchen and wheelie bins become the greatest drum set in the world; Plastic bags are an amazing musical instrument and the human body becomes a unique sound machine.
Yours in Creative and Performing Arts
