State School Spectacular
We’re proud to have 25 of our senior choir students representing us as part of the massed choir in the 2026 Victorian State Schools Spectacular – This Is Me.
Students from across the state will take to the stage at John Cain Arena on Saturday 29 August (1pm and 6:30pm), performing to an audience of around 12,000.
Talented students will feature on stage, while many other students will work behind the scenes, gaining professional experience under the mentorship of Creative Director Neill Gladwin, Musical Director Chong Lim AM and Dance Director Yvette Lee.
Get ready to be amazed by the powerful pop anthems, moving ballads, high-energy choreography, awe-inspiring aerialists and circus performers.

2026 Book Week (August 24th – 28th)
Book Week Celebrations are coming!
On Monday 24th August, we will start with our Book Character Dress up day. Students can come dressed as their favourite Book Character and we will hold a whole school parade at 9.15am. You may like to decorate a hat, decorate a t-shirt or use any items you have at home to represent your favourite book character.
On Friday 28th August we have an amazing incursion with a live performance titled Something Special. Perform Education will provide us with an educational musical adventure linked to this year’s Book Week theme, Symphony of Stories. The production will run two sessions, Prep – 3, aimed at junior students and a 4 – 6 production for senior primary students.
This incursion has been booked with an early bird fee for families of $8.50 per student. This is payable through Compass and due no later than Monday 24th August.
Our annual Book Fair will begin on Monday 24th of August and finish Friday 28th of August. The Book Fair will be open to students during their Library session where students can bring cash in a named envelope to purchase new, fantastic quality and popular books. Junior and senior fiction books, activity packs, journals, picture story books and non-fiction books will all be available for as little as $2 and up to $30. Book Fair will also be open to families between 3.30pm and 4pm each day, in the Library. Be sure to come and check it out!
To run a smooth and successful Book Fair we are asking for parent volunteers to help out after school each day for half an hour. If you are available and able to support us as a cashier or supervising, can you please email me at leanne.bentley@education.vic.gov.au
Your time and support are always greatly appreciated.
Cash sales and EFTPOS will be available at the Book Fair.
If you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
