To celebrate the 10th anniversary of St Clare’s Primary School we are proud to present our 2025 school concert entitled “Portal to the Past”.
Congratulations to 4LP for winning our naming competition for the concert.
Join us as we take a journey through the decades beginning in the 1920s, all the way through to the present day, exploring the music of the times.
Each year level will perform two song and dance routines from their decade as well as a performance from our Year 5 and Year 6 school choir. A number of our year 5 and year 6 students have created an entertaining time travel narrative linking each performance. The concert concludes with the Year 5 and Year 6 finale.
The “Portal to the Past” concert is the culmination of many months of learning from the students in their Music and Performing Arts sessions. The students have been developing knowledge and skills related to singing, dancing and stagecraft.
The finished product is a reflection of the time and effort the students have put into preparing for the performance and we look forward to sharing it with you.
Further information regarding Drop off and Pick up of students, on both nights of the Concert at Bunjil, will be sent out early Term 4.
Looking forward to celebrating our children’s learning with you.
