Our students sing the 2nd verse of the Australian National Anthem in Noongar at all major school events and assemblies. Music specialist teacher Miss Sophie Mollett taught students and staff how to pronounce the words and sing the 2nd verse in Noongar in 2022. Students sing the 2nd verse in Noongar with pride, allowing our students to respect and acknowledge Noongar Boodja.

Year 6 Drama

Our Year 6 students take part in our Year 6 Drama program for Terms 1 - 3 of the school year, taught by our Music Teacher, supported by our Year 6 staff, and Years 2 - 6 Deputy Principal, with the goal of a final production, performed at Churchlands Senior High School.  This is a wonderful community event supported by our Year 6 Families who assist with costumes and props. Our Choir also sings at this event.  We are always very proud of the Year 6 Dramas, as it is a great example of how our school community works together.
