Strings excellence

Congratulations to Kayreen on completing her first AMEB exam for violin. She worked very hard in lessons and home practice and study towards her exam. She learned and performed scales, technical exercises, technical pieces and solo repertoire for the exam, as well as answering music theory questions and aural tests.

She received an A+ (High Distinction) for her exam, with some wonderful comments from their examiners about her music progress. These exams are Australia wide and this is the highest mark can be achieved.  Kayreen and her friend, Olivia in Year 3, both study at Encore Strings, as well as taking small group lessons at school and playing in Coomera Rivers Senior Strings. 

 Celebration of Learning

Year 4 have been creating Bee Hotels in MINECRAFT as their culminating activity in Science. After learning about animal and plant lifecycles, the importance of bees as pollinators and the impact on the environment and life without bees, the students were given the challenge to design and create a bee hotel that we could add to the gardens in our school to improve the environment.
