Tuesday afternoon students from Classes 5 - 8 had an opportunity to perform some of the pieces they have been hard at work learning this term. There were so many wonderful performances across all of the varied ensembles from Ukulele, Guitar, Singing and Marimba along with Violin and Cello duets and we finished off with the band. Many thanks to the students, the teachers and the parents and carers who support and encourage the development of such wonderful young musicians. 

  Class 5 has returned from an adventurous 6 nights away on their Blue Mountains Camp as part of the ‘Convicts and Explorers’ Main Lesson.  The students spent their time immersed in the beauty of the Blue Mountains, whose dramatic sandstone cliffs and canyons contrast with our sleepy Mid North Coast’s rolling ranges.  The days were spent exploring cliffs and caves, abseiling, mountain biking, bushwalking, singing, playing, listening to tales of history and having an endless gaggle of giggles with their classmates.  When asked what their favourite parts of camp were, the students named each of the outdoor adventure activities,…

  Class 8 have been incredibly patient with the postponement of the annual Island Camp, which under normal circumstances would have taken place last year during Class 7. The group boarded the Lady Musgrave Experience from Bundaberg expecting a week of white sands, sunsets and a well-earned reprieve from the daily deluge of rainfall along the Mid North Coast. Unfortunately, Huey had other plans.  Class 8 were faced with howling South Easterly winds and regular downfalls throughout the week. The group banded together to make the most of any glimpse of sunshine and are to be commended for their positive outlook…

  When people first visit Chrysalis School they are often struck by the physical beauty of the school grounds and its buildings. They see beautifully crafted buildings, each separate in character, yet part of a unified whole. As one gets to know the school a little better, they may notice that each level is built from different raw materials. If they look a little deeper again they will see that the shapes of each building are distinct and separate. But not many may know the underlying design of the whole campus and the sacred geometry that it touches. In the original…
