In Week 7, students in Concert Band and Allegretto Strings joined Music staff and the Music Captains at Music Camp in Luther Heights. This unique experience provided an opportunity for these younger groups to forge stronger bonds with their classmates and peers in the Music Program, and the Music Tutors as they do almost a terms worth of rehearsals in a weekend in preparation for some major events next term.
Launch Day Extracurricular clubs and activities have always been an essential part of school life at SPS. The diverse range of opportunities enable students to become part of something new and exciting; a team, ensemble, club or movement, something that can enhance their growth, foster a sense of belonging, or provide the means to strive for excellence. Launch Day saw Secondary School students enjoy a festival atmosphere in the Walker Courtyard, visiting stalls where they could learn about the extracurricular activities on offer by those already engaged in them, discover how active participation can reap benefits socially and academically. Organised and run by our wonderful Student Leadership Team, Launch Day saw a great turnout, and provided the perfect illustration of why SPS has enviable and exceptional learning experiences beyond the classroom.
SPS Dance Troupe Coordinator It is with excitement that we announce the appointment of Nicole Kohn as the SPS Dance Troupe Coordinator. Outside of her role as Learning Manager (Food and Textiles Technologies), Nicole is a passionate dancer herself and has a longstanding relationship with our program here at SPS. Extracurricular Dance has continued to grow year-after-year, with our students participating in several Eisteddfods and securing some excellent results. Under Nicole’s leadership she hopes to continue to nurture our students love of dance and the community of support that SPS Dance Troupe has fostered to date. Her love of dance has always been a part of her life from a young age, with her own involvement in school dance troupe being some of her best dance memories. 2025 will bring another year of dance troupe hitting the stage to perform, compete and bring joy to the SPS community.
