What an extraordinary evening we had last Friday, filled with the enchantment of Christmas Carols and Night Markets, marking a truly splendid celebration of our 50th Anniversary. The collective effort of each class showcased an astounding display of creativity and dedication at their stalls, raising funds for additional resources that will benefit our school immensely. A heartfelt THANK YOU goes out to Nadia Gibellini for assistance with the coordination of the Night Markets, and to the entire staff whose exceptional and tireless efforts contributed to the success of their respective stalls. Well done to all!
The festivities continued with the Christmas Carol segment, featuring a delightful appearance by Father Christmas and his two elves, bringing joy to the children and spreading the festive spirit. A special mention to the School Choir for keeping the crowd enthralled with their beautiful singing to commence the musical part of the evening.
Led by the talented Mrs. Greta Scheggia and Mrs. Irene Windsor, our Carols, featuring students from Pre-Primary to Year Three, were nothing short of enchanting. Witnessing parents join in the joyous singing added to the magic of the evening. The impressive turnout of over fifteen hundred people spoke volumes about the remarkable 'Community Spirit' at Mel Maria Catholic Primary School. The abundance of positive comments received about the evening makes it a tough act to follow, but, as always, we remain committed to ‘striving for excellence’ here at Mel Maria Catholic Primary School.
The climax of the evening was the 50th Anniversary Musical, expertly coordinated and directed by Mrs. Joanne Scouler. Our heartfelt thanks go to Joanne for her adept coordination and direction of the musical, along with Mrs. Gennieve Sumich and Mrs. Trish Spencer, who not only led the choir but also played various pieces of music throughout the evening.
We also thank all the Teachers and Staff who dedicated themselves to preparing the students for this musical extravaganza. The entire evening radiated with a sense of enjoyment, fun, and unity.
A resounding Congratulations and Thank You to everyone involved in making our Golden Jubilee Year concert an outstanding success.
