  • Senior Sing Along

    Mon 15 Dec 2025

    Our annual Senior Sing Along was a truly heart-warming afternoon that celebrated community, kindness and the spirit of Christmas. We were delighted to welcome older members of our local community into school for a cup of tea and cake. Guests were warmly greeted at the door by our wonderful Year 6 children, who escorted them to the hall where more eager volunteers were ready for friendly conversation and to serve refreshments.

    Throughout the afternoon, a variety of singing groups from across the school entertained our visitors, creating a joyful and festive atmosphere. The event concluded with a special moment as the whole school and our guests came together to sing carols.

    The Senior Sing Along beautifully embodied our school values of Respect, Service and Friendship and the true meaning of Christmas — bringing people together, showing care for others and sharing joy across generations.
