The end to the 2014 Arts Festival Week was as successful as the start! 

Around 60 parents and friends and 40 students attended the annual Music soiree on Thursday night.  Students showed off their fantastic musical skills performing instrumental and vocal items for the audience. Our thanks to Warwick, Katie, Fiona and Christine for their efforts in working with students and organising the evening.  Thanks also the the wonderfully supportive families and friends who came along on the night.  

On Friday many families and friends attended the whole school picnic that finished up our Arts Week. We were fortunate to have some great weather which made it a very pleasant day to be socialising together over lunch. 

Thanks to Clare and the organising committee for their great work in organising events for the week.  We look forward to the next Pender's Grove Arts Festival! 

A huge crowd of parents, students, relatives and friends turned out for our opening night of the 2014 Arts Festival tonight.  Over 250 people attended the event where students sang, danced and played before attendees viewed the fantastic work on display in our temporary gallery in the school library.

Thanks to Clare and the students who have worked so hard over many months preparing the art works on show. Thanks also to Warwick and Amy for working with students on dance and music performances as well as the many staff and parents who spent many hours mounting work, decorating the gallery and outdoor spaces and preparing food for the event.  

Everyone is reminded that the gallery can be viewed each day after school this week between 3.30 and 4.00pm.

Welcome back to Term Four, our last term of the year!  It promises to be a very busy 11 weeks and it was great to see everyone back at school today and ready to learn. 

Welcome also to Pam Merritt who joins us this term in the office as our acting Business Manager. Mark will be continuing his leave this term and will return to Penders in 2015.
