Acacia Concert - Festival of Instrumental Music
Bungendore Public School’s 25-strong recorder club has performed in the Acacia
Concert of the Festival of Instrumental Music at the Opera House, an extravaganza that
put more than one thousand public school students on stage every night for four nights.
Every year, public school students from across NSW join together to celebrate musical
excellence in a series of four concerts in the Festival of Instrumental Music for Combined
Recorder and Combined String Ensembles.
Bungendore’s students worked with professional conductors and performed specifically
chosen and commissioned musical pieces: Six Ribbons, Marche Militaire and Krasniye
Saposhki.
Children were accompanied by their principal Mrs Narelle Lloyd, their recorder teachers
Mrs Margie Lawson and Ms Robynne Prosser and family members.
“Twelve months of commitment to practice, of their chosen instrument, led rise to an
unforgettable experience of performing with professional musicians and hundreds of
other primary school students to a sell-out audience,” Ms Prosser said.
“This year we built upon our successes from previous years. Lachlan Elderton has won
the opportunity to present a prestigious vocal solo performance at the Mimosa Concert
to be held in September, where a select group of recorder players from BPS will also be
performing a group item with other South Coast students.”

Victoria Variety Club Bash visits Bungendore
report by the Bungendore Gazette team
Bungendore Public School students gave a rowdy
welcome to the Victoria Variety Club Bash teams
this week.
More than 15 crazy cars pulled up at the Mick Sherd
Oval in Bungendore to meet with Bungendore
schoolkids, handing out goodies including
handballs, “trauma bears”, hats and lollipops.
There was also a handover of money to the school
to be donated to a charity of the school’s choice, Multiple Sclerosis Australia. The Victoria
Variety Club Bash car teams began their journey on August 18 in Melbourne and will finish
on Fraser Island, Queensland on August 26.
Among the most popular of the
vehicles to arrive in Bungendore
was a light grey ZD Fairlane
decorated in a Jamaican theme,
topped with a camel. The drivers
were dressed as Rastafarians and
very friendly.
There was also a red Ford LTD topped with a lawn
mower that a couple of Year 5 students were
allowed to climb up and sit on!
Other cars included: a white Ford Fairlane that had
a Where's Wally theme, a Blues Brothers (with a sister
too) themed 1974 Dodge Monaco, a black
Mercedes Benz called Wonderland with ‘Alice in
Wonderland’ theme, light tan Mercedes Benz with
‘La tour de Eiffel’ (the Eiffel tower) theme, a Sesame
Street themed 1987 Ford stretch limousine and a
Shaun the Sheep car that made bleating noises and was a Ford LTD.
Thank you to all the people who
came along and thank you to all
the people who made and
presented these cars.
Bungendore had a great time!
