Issue 30 Term 3 Week 9 18 September 2019

Good afternoon Parents, Carers and Friends of Greenwich Public School.

Welcome to Week 9 of Term 3.

Stage 1 Learn to Swim Program

Last week our Year 1 and 2 students took part in a learn to swim program at Carlile

Swim Centre in Lane Cove West. It was wonderful to see and hear about so many

students enjoying their classes while improving their water confidence and swimming

skills. The ability to swim well is not only potentially life-saving but is also a skill that

will provide life-long benefits and enjoyments. Well done to all our students for their

participation and excellent behaviour throughout the program.

done girls, we are very proud of you.

Band News

Both the Training and Concert Band performed recently in the North Shore Primary School Band Festival

at Chatswood High School. The Festival is a great experience for our band members to see other similar

primary school bands perform, whilst playing to a new audience. Three pieces are played in total, one of

which is played by all bands. This year that piece was composed by the Australian composer, Tim

Ferrier. They were adjudicated by Band Directors James Brice (Knox Grammar) and James Watkins.

The Training Band played in the Novice Section and the adjudicator commented that they played with

confidence, producing a well balanced sound and congratulated on their enjoyable performance.

The Concert Band played in the D grade. The adjudicator commented that the band showed lots of vitality

and enthusiasm with good dynamics. He noted that a lot of attention to detail had gone into the

presentation.

The band members enjoyed the performance and showed that they have all come a long way this year!
