Good afternoon PCS Community!

In this e-news:

iTunes EP Preview #3


This week's preview is a song called "The Light" written by Breaking the Waves. The song deals with the loss of a loved one and their perspective on the world that continues around them as well as how the living move on from loss and their attempt to look forward to the better things to come.

'Oliver! The Musical' - it's a wrap!


Over 50 students from year 3 to year 11 were a part of the cast and crew of  'Oliver'. After three terms of hard work, they presented an extremely professional show to more than 500 people over three nights at the Joan Sutherland Centre Theatre. Thank you to all the staff, students and parents for playing your part in making this production so successful. And thank you to everyone who sat in the audience and cheered us on - we hope you all had a wonderful time!

Year 3 Camp 2016


What an amazing time Year 3 had recently! On Thursday morning, children arrived at school with airbeds, sleeping bags and suitcases. Four wonderful parents came to help with the activities the children were soon to enjoy. On the bus and we were off to Blue Gum Lodge! One aim of going to this camp was to promote friendships between the children by allowing them to be with others who may have been outside their usual friendship group. Another aim was to develop skills necessary for working successfully in a team.

Year 5 Excursion to Australiana Pioneer Village


On the first day back of Term 4, Year 5 went on an excursion to Australiana Pioneer Village in Wilberforce. This experience was to introduce students to their new History unit “Australian Colonies” and give them firsthand experience of what it was like to live back during early Australian pioneering days. They learnt to churn butter, watch sheep shearing, observe Blacksmith tools, watch a Spinning Wheel, work a Water Pump and wash clothes using a Hand Ringer.
