All students from Kindergarten to Year 6 will be participating in an Edu-Dance incursion during Weeks 1–9 of Term 4 2025 – 30 minute session per week.
This engaging program provides students with the opportunity to enjoy structured dance lessons while developing skills aligned with the Dance strand of the Western Australian Curriculum. Through EduDance, students will explore movement, rhythm, and expression in a fun and supportive environment.
The cost of the program is $50 per student, which covers all lessons and the end-of-term performance.
The program will conclude with an Edu-Dance Concert in Week 9, where classes will showcase their dances for families. Further details, including performance times, will be provided closer to the event.
We look forward to another exciting and energetic term of dance for our students!
The Pre-primary to Year 3 students will be going on an excursion to Claremont Pools from Monday 27 October through to Thursday 6 November for their annual allocation of Department of Education Interm swimming lessons. Students will participate in levelled swimming lessons from qualified state swim instructors and teachers will be in attendance at all times.
