We have had an exciting week with our winter concert event and bake sale. The division 1 performance of Flakes brought feelings of joy and nostalgia as this was our first performance of a musical since COVID. It was a delight to watch our young students singing and acting on our Sunalta stage. The artwork on the gym walls was beautiful and we thank staff and students for all of their work preparing our school. We also enjoyed with the Orff Club of musicians playing xylophones and metallophones to which highlighted the importance of quality music instruction! A huge thanks to Ms Irwin with all of her work preparing and presenting the musical.

The weather also signals the time for giving and generosity. Sunalta school would like to offer families the opportunity to support two charities that are dear to our heart. The first one is the Mustard Seed and the second is Brenda’s house. With the support from School Council, we will be asking families to send in items by December 18 (see letters).
