Arts Week 2025

Our walls adorned with master pieces from all grades.

Here are some of our 3D pieces.

I loved Arts week because the whole school got to participate in class performances and watch other classes acting, singing or dancing. The reason I liked watching performances was because all the acts were great. There were acts about family these included the future family, the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s and present day (2050). 

The rest of the performances were dances or songs being played by the band. 

My favourite part was when everybody was helping each other backstage.

I loved the music, it was very precise. It flowed into the acting which was great. I thought that the costumes really matched the decades. For the future scene we didn’t really know what they would wear but we took a stab and did really well.  

I was Grandma in the future scene. I didn’t really like the wigs, but it was fine. It all came together quite nicely. My friends were in crew and ushers and everybody did their part and it worked out.

 I started the week with a dress rehearsal for the play Mrs Wallace wrote so kindly.  

On Tuesday we had the first performances. (I was in both) They were so fun and went smoothly. 

In the backstage area we were told that we were able to be heard by the audience. It made us all quiet. For a bit.  

Wednesday was basically the same. My favourite part was Hound Dog.

I really enjoyed Arts Week. There were two casts. Both of them performed the same thing, but with different people. I was in cast one and I was a robot with our buddy class (the Preps). When cast one performs cast two watches. When cast two performs, cast one watches.

I loved Arts Week. There were two casts, cast 1 and cast 2. Both the casts did the same thing with different people. When cast 1 performed cast 2 watched and when cast 1 performed cast 1 watched.  

My class (4A) was in cast 1, but sadly our SASS lesson was when we were supposed to watch cast 2 and we missed it. 

I was performing in the 80’s as the mum and I had golden pants! 

A suggestion for next time is a cue to start because the people with the opening line didn’t always know when to start.

In the music room it started. The performance had started. The 2050 family was going on and I was as nervous as a shaking cheese. A few minutes later, the 2025 family had come back. 

“The crowd is bigger than last time, two more rows of adults at the back and all the extra seats are taken!”, said my friend Alex. 

I waited . . . and waited . . . aaand waited, until Josh called out to the music room, “1980’s, 1980’s, over here! 1980’s.” 

It was time, my (what felt like) doom was at hand. 

I walked . . .  

Success!! I felt wonderful! 

I enjoyed it so much!

Let's not forget all the performers!

Prep B was snapped rehearsing in their classroom before the big day.

Our Kinders were busy painting Australian Animals as well as dancing up a storm!

The drama performance was for Arts Week and had two different casts. The topic was different families through the decade, including the 2050’s, the 1950’s, 1960’s, the 1970’s, the 1980’s, the 1990’s and the present day.  

I had the role of the teenage son in the 2050’s with five sentences.  

My favourite part was waiting in the backstage (music room) and playing Chinese Whispers at least ten times! The people who were in charge of us (grade 6 crew) got annoyed about how many times we played the game, which was quite entertaining. 

Also waiting outside the doors at the end, waiting for the final bow was fun because we got to do the dance of the Grade two performance, including the Mexican Wave. 

In conclusion, the Arts Week drama performance was really, REALLY fun!
