Class 5 recently returned from a 5 day camp to Armidale. It was a great bonding experience, and informative of the Convicts and Explorer's main lesson that the class had been in the midst of. We quickly learnt just how cold it can get in Armidale at this time of year, which made us appreciate even more our evening stories by the fire offered by Tyler. The ‘L Shaped Hotel’ was particularly intriguing, where the baby hippopotamus swims around the moat in the penthouse suite on the top floor?? Fun times…. As the year draws to an end, Class 5 are…

Their final presentation is in two parts; the display of the Project itself and the Oral Presentation that explains the students learning and thought process throughout their project experience.

Here is the link to a parent's video of the final play through of 'Sinfonia in D' at the Bellingen Fine Music Festival Music By Youth Strings Workshop 1 with the Acacia Quartet. There were almost 50 students from Year 2 - Year 8 from six schools that attended the workshop. They sounded FANTASTIC! And although the Chrysalis students had to run to the buses quickly afterwards, they were all jumping about with energy saying things like 'that was so cool!', 'i'm so pumped!'. There was a great energy that all the players felt and it was a really valuable…
