Our theme for our concert is about our gifts to the world.  What can we give to show our love for the world?  What can we give to make the world a better place for so many?  What can we give that will make a difference? In this time, above all others, what can we give to heal, encourage, support and inspire?

“I have come so that you may have life and have it to the full.”

John 10:10

This year, our school concert will be undertaking some changes. Unfortunately, we won’t be gathering in the Ocean Grove Park together as a school community. We will most certainly be celebrating our students and families, and taking time to reflect on and be grateful for our greatest gift of all. 

With the current uncertainty of what our Covid-19 restrictions are likely to be at this stage, we are being proactive to ensure our students are able to participate in, and share with families, this significant event.  

Students will begin concert preparations very early this term. Classes are working towards a schedule of pre-recording their musical numbers, which will then be streamed for families to enjoy on Tuesday 1 December.  Costumes and choreography will still be a vital part of the process, as will the celebration of our Christmas story, as the Preps bring the Nativity to life. On concert night, families are invited to sit down together and enjoy our annual event which will follow a similar, but extended format to our usual night. I have no doubt that our students will embrace these changes and work hard to, once again, provide a wonderful spectacle for us all.
