Education Week's Open Night 2008 was
a resounding success, thanks to the fantastic support and work
of all members of our school community. The work in the
classrooms and at the Art Show inspired by the dedication and
professionalism of our teachers was second to none. Our children
performed magnificently in all aspects of school life: dancing,
singing, performing in bands and recorder groups in the
classrooms and as ambassadors for the school as speakers and hosts
to visitors. As I say on many occasions, the involvement of
parents to maintain our programs is vital to the success of
extra curricula activities. Last night, parents and conductors
were there to move the bands, on and off stage and to supervise
the setting up of instruments and music stands. The valuable
support with costumes, make-up and stage props by parents who
assist with the dance program is most valued and appreciated by
all. However, the prize for resilience and courage must go to
Kate, the conductor of the Training Band. While the students were
under cover Kate stood in the sprinkling rain to
conduct. When the heavy downpour came, the audience rushed for
cover, but the students and wonderful Kate continued! What a
great example Kate was of continuing with the job, no matter
what!
