One of the traditional highlights of the school year is the School Christmas Night. This year was no exception. A warm, balmy evening set the scene on Monday 8th December for a wonderful end of year celebration. Our school community created a carnival atmosphere, with their deck chairs and picnic rugs strewn on the school oval.  The evening was hosted by Year 7 students, Ashlee Randall and Travis Gordon.

Entertainment included Christmas carols sung by the Junior Primary students, a dance performance presented by Mrs Petho’s and Mr Mueller’s classes and a medley of songs by the Primary choir and band.

The adults joined in the fun too, with items from Parents in Theatre and the staff. The audience also got a turn, with community carol singing led by Heather Jesshope. The evening finished in Happy Valley tradition with a fireworks display that delighted young and old. Right: Barb Williams conducts the School Band.

Happy Valley School would like to take this opportunity to thank all the students, parents, and teachers who prepared for and staged such a great evening for our school community, the volunteers who stayed behind afterwards to pack up and, of course, the community, for being such a fantastic audience on the night.

A joyous and Happy Christmas to everyone from Happy Valley School students, parents and staff.
