School bush dance a ‘barnstorming’ success

03 Oct 2018

Bushdance 01

 

More than 800 people attended Chisholm Catholic Primary School’s “Dance for Drought” on Thursday night, raising around $4000 for farming families doing it tough in Western NSW.

Students and staff from Bede Polding College, Windsor South; St Matthew’s Primary, Windsor; St Luke’s Catholic College, Marsden Park and Santa Sophia Catholic College joined in the fun too!

Chisholm Catholic Primary Principal Michael Mifsud said the bush dance, held at the school outdoor quadrangle in Bligh Park, was a wonderful community experience.

“What a great way to show our support for families suffering through the drought,” Mr Mifsud said.

Musical teachers which included Glenn Green, Cliff Coy, Paul Stenning, Chris Komorowski, Phil Rooke and Gary Brown from Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta headlined the event. Students, staff and community members showed off their boot scootin’ skills to the live band’s repertoire of country songs and well known ballads.

A sausage sizzle, pizza and homemade scones were generously organised by volunteers from the school’s Parents and Friends Association. There were also sack races and boot throwing games, in keeping with the farming focus.

Catholic Education Diocese of Wilcannia-Forbes Director Anthony Gordon welcomed the fundraising effort, saying many families in the Far West are doing it really tough.

“So much thought has gone into this fun event to help local families. It lifts the spirits to learn so many others are thinking of us, and keeping the farmers in their prayers!” Mr Gordon said.

🌿👩‍🍳 Our Year 3 students had a wonderful time today turning fresh ingredients into something delicious! Using parsley picked straight from our very own school garden, they created cheesy garlic scrolls that were full of flavour. 🧄🧀🥖 This activity was more than just cooking, it connected learning across the curriculum. Students practiced reading and following a recipe, measuring and weighing ingredients, and working together as a team. They also got to see the rewards of caring for our garden and how what we grow can make its way onto our plates. 🌱✨ The best part? Enjoying the scrolls warm from the oven and sharing the experience with friends. What a tasty way to learn! 🍴💚
