Grenfell Public School once again made a remarkable impact at this year's Grenfell Show, with students and teachers coming together to showcase their creativity and talents across many categories.
In the lead-up to the show, each class embarked on an artistic journey, creating a 'hanger'—a 1m x 1m decorative poster or display to be hung in the pavilion. Teachers planned their art lessons around this project, resulting in an array of imaginative and vibrant entries that captivated everyone who visited the pavilion.
Students from all year levels were also hard at work preparing entries for the handwriting and School Artwork sections.
The joy and pride were palpable as children and their families admired their art displayed in the pavilions. The effort was well-rewarded, with many students taking home prizes for their exceptional work.
A highlight of the show were the performances by our talented Marimba ensembles and choir at the official opening on Saturday. Led by Mrs Kilby, Primary 3-6 group impressed the crowd with their renditions of "Grace and Favour" and "Borris the Baseman," while the Infants K-2 group charmed everyone with "Cabbage Cafe" and "Putting on the Hill.".
