Big Sing

Last week Isabelle, Khijra, Emily, Lily, Alexia, Tayah and Kiarra participated in the “Big Sing” which is a

combined schools choir. Our students spent three days working with composer and performer, Paul

Jarman, on a variety of songs which they presented to families on the final day of rehearsals. Well

done to our Northview students.

Grandparents Day—1st Nov

Next term we are hosting Grandparents Day to recognise

the important role grandparents play in the lives and

education of their grandchildren. Grandparents day will

take place in the morning of Friday 1st November and will

culminate with a special assembly with guest speaker,

local author Debbie Brooker. This will be followed by

morning tea with the grandies! Please diarise and invite

grandparents along for our biannual Grandparents Day.

Kind regards,

Paul Manttan
