One of the most enjoyable school events is
undoubtedly the Christmas Family evening. This year the event was held
on the school oval on Monday 9th December. Once again, a very large
crowd attended to celebrate both the festive season and the end of
another successful school year.
As twilight approached, hundreds of students,
teachers, parents, ex-students and family members gathered on the oval
for a night of fun and entertainment. The evening commenced with a
barbeque conducted by the Pedal Prix group. Throughout the evening, tea
and coffee was provided by the Canteen Committee.

One of the highlights of our school's Christmas
Night is the performance of the Junior Primary children. This
year, Mrs. Loveday's class performed "Clem, the Clumsy Camel."

The Senior Choir performed to a very appreciative
audience. The Christmas Night is a final opportunity for many choir
members to perform and display their exceptional skills. The choir has
had a particularly successful year, culminating in their performance in
the Festival of Music earlier in the year.

Other highlights of the night consisted of a
variety of skits, items and music performed by an eager group of
students, parents and staff members. This always provides a lot of fun
(and sometimes embarrassment!) for everyone involved. The photographs
below show a sample of some of the performances and antics on display
this year.

Families were encouraged to bring along a donation of
a can or packet of food to put into food hampers. These were then
distributed to needy families in the community by the local churches and
other community groups.
Once again, the evening finished with a
spectacular display of fireworks sponsored by our student body,
The Kookaburra
Council. Everyone present would like to thank Kookaburra
Council for once again supporting this very popular and exciting finale
to our Family Christmas Evening.
