“Demeter will not stop mourning until Hades, the King of the Dead, returns her daughter Persephone.  It is up to the Gods and Goddesses to convince Hades to give Persephone back, so the earth shall not perish and the animals and humans shall live in peace once again.”  Lila-Rose Robson

It is with great pride that we write about Class 5/6.  They arose to the challenge of putting on the Class Play of Demeter and Persephone.  Their enthusiasm from the start was infectious.  They undertook, not just acting roles, but backdrop painting, programme art, costume co-ordinating, learning songs, dances and instrumental music, scene changing, prop making, organising backstage rooms, blurb writing and the list goes on.  We are so very proud of them.  It was a thrill for the class to perform in front of the school and then to a packed house for the night-time performance.

We’d like to thank the class, all parent and caregivers’ participation, especially Sara, Kylie, John and Sylvia.  Thank you to Tegan for printing off programmes, invitations and for being there.  Our appreciation goes to Evie McMullen for beautifying the hall, post-production and for giving our classroom her magical touch for the Open Day, which was enjoyed by so many of us.

With swimming behind us, we look forward to launching into the new Main Lessons of Physics and Australian History.

Before we know it, graduation will be upon us and we would really appreciate any photos of our wonderful Class 6’s journey at Golden Hill.  Please send photos to the office for Tegan.  Thanks Tegan.
