Splash Theatre Company entertained our R-7 students with a theatrical romp through seven different 'Bridge' themed stories. Using mime, slapstick, fast=paced costume changes and skilful characterisation the troupe of three talented actors amused, astounded and delighted the captivated audience. A wonderful hour of fun and thought!

 

 

 

Royal Show time is fast approaching and our Year 9 and Year 10 Agricultural Studies classes are busily preparing our goats and steers.
Last week our Year 9 class introduced the five led wether goats to our Junior School classes. The younger students loved the activity and it is obvious we have many budding Ag students in the Junior School!
On Monday August 23, David Davies spent the afternoon with our Ag Certificate students demonstrating the correct technique for clipping steers and preparing our Red Poll “Beau” for the Show. We are very grateful for David’s continued support of our Ag program.

On Wednesday 26th August the Friends of the CYP Library hosted an afternoon for the Reception - Year 2 students and their grandparents. It was a wonderful time of sharing life stories and books together. A book fair added to the atmosphere, allowing for purchasing of excellent books at very reasonable prices. The afternoon was part of week long celebrations for BOOK WEEK 2010.

The JEP 2010 Welcome Assembly was held today in the school recreation centre. The assembly featured items from the Japanese students and msucial numbers from the School Concert Band, class bands and the Festival of Music Choir. The JEP students were presented with honourary YP certificates of citizenship and shared information about their home towns of Ohara and Mimasaka.

Fifteen Japanese students and four teachers arrived at the school today after spending two days enjoying the sights of Adelaide and the near Barossa.

Excited host families met in the temporary Music Room to greet the new family members and soon were whisked away to begin their two week home-stay.

The 115th Adelaide Festival of Music got off to a bright and musical start with twenty schools - including Maitland - performing in a 300 voice choir at the Adelaide Festival Centre last night.

Our choir, conducted by Belinda Wundersitz, featured in the program and supplied the soloist for one of the highlight numbers.

The capacity crowd at the theatre enjoyed every minute of the musically diverse program, which featured not only the primary choir but guest soloists and bands.

Congratulations to all involved, it was a wonderful night!
