Megan's Report on the Concert

On the 7th of November, I enjoyed a lovely school concert at the Hill Centre. Starting at 7:00pm and finishing at 9:30pm, this wonderful performance starred all children from Holy Spirit School. As it was their Jubilee year, the performance was about their education for children for 50 years by going through all the grades and extra classes they offered. All performances were very enjoyable but my favourite was the Year 4 performance.

Year 4 showed me how Holy Spirit educated the children with the subjects Mathematics and Technology. First 4HP came on stage wearing black clothing with silver sparkly hats, silver sashes and taped mathematical symbols on their T-Shirts. They sang ‘Times Table Blues’ which was a boring song, but how they made it look fun and exciting was amazing!! The lighting shining on the mathematical symbols made them stand out like gold!

The next performance was 4TP singing and dancing to the song ‘Round it off.’ It was fun, exciting and everyone had lots of energy! The highlight of this performance was the holding up of the numbers and the Mexican wave. It was magnificent!

Last was 4D and everyone came on during the last dance. As expected, it was a marvelous performance. Instead of Mathematics, it was technology! Lots of little jolts of arms and legs made a wonderful and enjoyable performance.
I enjoyed the whole concert very much and I can’t wait until the next one in 2 years time.

Holy Spirit Concert by Olivia

On Friday the 7th of November at 7pm, Holy Spirit held a spectacular Jubilee Concert at the Hills centre Castle Hill. Everything was so good. Four Yr 6s dressed up as Mrs Williams, Mrs Westgate, two visitors were sitting in the audience and two boys from Yr 6 dressed up as Mr Murray and Mr Jenkins.

Every grade performed from K to 6. Kindy did FairyTales in English, Yr1 did Science, Yr2 did Visual Arts, Yr3 H.S.I.E, Yr4 did Technology and Maths, Yr5 did Religion, Yr6 did Sport and a talented girl named Tessa Coleman did a Piano solo. The lighting was fantastic! Pictures and bright colours were supplied to suit the music and their subject. The spotlight was so bright and the music was a great choice to suit their grade. When Yr 4 did their performance they were supposed to be robots getting ready to take over the school. They were all in time with each other and the dance teacher at their school is so talented. All the costumes were fantastic the singing was loud, clear and in time again!

The best part of Holy Spirit’s concert was seeing all of it put together and in 2010 it will be even better!

Holy Spirit Concert Report by Lara

Last Friday on the 7th of November Holy Spirit school performed a school concert at the Hills Centre at Castle Hill. The concert started at about 7.00pm and lasted to 9.30pm. I especially enjoyed watching Year 4’s performances. They had really effective, strong and creative dance moves. The music was really catchy, stiff and enjoyable to listen to.

Not only did they have robotic moves and dance to the music, but in their other performances they sang and danced as well. WOW!!! The tear 4 topics were Maths and Technology. The back up effects and lighting were very colourful and bright. Every minute the lights on the screen changed colour with different patterns on them.

The costumes had mathematical symbols on the t-shirts and 4D had a CD on their tops instead. All the classes wore their black school shoes and some girls wore jazz shoes. We all wore black pants and a black t-shirt with black socks. To make our costumes not look totally boring the Year 4 teachers and Mrs. Hansel added and supplied glittery, sparkly and silvery top hats with elastic under it to rap around our heads so that the hats wouldn’t fall of during our performance. We also had glittery gem sashes to rap around our waists on the right side of our waist.

The highlight of the show was definitely Year 4’s performance. But all the other performances and acts, dances and singing from the other classes and grades where amazing and incredible to watch and listen to.

Concert Report by Michael

On Friday the 7th November 2008 at 7:30 Holy Spirit had a Jubilee concert on at the Hills Centre, Castle Hill. The concert ended at 9:30. At the concert every grade K-6 and the principal Mrs. Pat Williams even had a part.

Year 4 stood out perfectly in their act. Everyone loved their bright glittery silver hats and sashes. They all sang the cool robot song TECHNOLOGIC. The entire robot dancing looked so realistic. The lighting was all done by Mrs. Joanne Pearson.

It was an amazing sight watching Holy Spirit Primary School. I can’t wait another 2 years!!!!!!!!!! till they have another concert.

HOLY SPIRIT SCHOOL CONCERT 2008

On Friday 7th of November, at approximately 7:00pm a school concert with the students of Holy Spirit took place in the Hills Centre, Castle Hill. The concert took place on the year the students had its Jubilee. Every grade took part, from Kindy to Year 6.

One of the highlights of the concert was year 4’s performance. The music was spectacular and really suited the subject which was maths and technology. They sang the songs "Times Table Blues" and “Round it off” with a great tone of voice. Their dance had magnificent effects and timing. The lighting built a great atmosphere especially the bright spotlights. Their silver sparkly hats, silver sashes, silver wristbands and maths operations signs combined with their dark black clothing made them and their performance look great.

Overall the concert was great to watch and was really interesting and makes a good DVD. Remember to catch their next concert in two years time!
