Concert Band on Tour - Tuesday 14 November 2023

This Tuesday Mr Lanzafame led the 33 students of Glenvale’s Concert Band on Tour.

After a regular morning rehearsal at school, we visited Glenvale Villas & presented a very well prepared program of various styles of music to a very appreciative audience of residents.  After a treat lunch at McDonalds we then travelled to Drayton Villas for a second performance.  During each performance individuals and small groups had special pieces to perform which they did with excellence.

All members have shown a wonderful level of commitment with weekly rehearsals (including performances for each parade). With a united goal to achieve their very best this group has found success at a local level, winning a section & being highly commended in another at the Toowoomba Eisteddfod, as well as the Year 6 part of the ensemble performing in Brisbane at Music Fest in Brisbane receiving a Gold Award.

Today was the first public performance for 12 of the students.  All students were rewarded for the hard work involved in lessons and rehearsals. Students should be justifiably proud of ‘just how far they have come’.

As we wish the Year 6 students all the very best in starting High School they will be missed from this extremely strong ensemble.  The value of teamwork in music groups should not be overlooked.  Learning an instrument and joining a band is a source of great joy and life-long friendships for many people.

Sincere thanks to Mr Lanzafame for his strength and inspiration in leading the Concert Band.

We look forward to seeing new students become involved in the Instrumental Music Program (Open to students from Years 4 – 6) and working towards being a member of the Concert Band next year and in the years to come.

 

 

Salvation Army Toy Drive

It has been a tradition at Glenvale State School to support local families in need at Christmas time by supporting the Salvation Army Toy Drive. We will be doing the Toy Drive again this year with an end of year whole school assembly on Monday December 4th. Families are asked to consider the Toy Drive by providing their child with a new unwrapped toy that the child can bring in to school on Monday December 4th and all toys will be collected on the school assembly.

We all know that times are pretty tough at the moment and the generosity of our community is truly appreciated as we work with the Salvation Army to support our city’s most vulnerable children at Christmas.

 

 

Thank you P&C

Last night we held our final P&C meeting for 2023. On behalf of the whole school community I want to thank the P&C team for what they have achieved this year to support the students, staff and families of this school. In particular, amongst other activities thank you for:

  • Managing the Outside School Hours Care service
  • Managing the school tuckshop
  • Managing the school uniform store
  • Running multiple school discos
  • With the P&C support and the co-funding we have:
    • Installed two multi-purpose tennis / basketball courts
    • Installed three new bubblers / water fountains on the Peter Burton oval
    • Improved the Tuckshop facilities
    • Purchased additional sports equipment
    • Improved the school grounds and facilities

They are a very friendly group to work with and I encourage parents to consider getting involved next year, we have two meetings a term that last approximately an hour. It is an opportunity to find out more about the school, meet some new people and contribute back.

School Disco

The final school disco for the year is Friday December 1st from 5.30 – 7.00pm and is organsied by the school’s P&C. The theme for disco will be ‘Aussie Christmas’.

 

Final week of sport

This week will see the final week of interschool sport for our Year 5 and 6 students. They are to be congratulated on a great season of competitive and fun games conducted in the right manner. It’s the end of an era for our Year 6 students as they play their final week of interschool sport after two years. Thank you to the students and staff who have done a great job. 

Prep 2024 transition

We have started our transition afternoons for the Prep 2024 cohort. Children born between July 2018 and June 2019 are eligible for Prep in 2024. Please contact the school to book in for a transition afternoon for Prep 2024 child or to arrange an enrolment interview.
