The Peace Child - Production 2011 hits the boards!

Such excitement filled the air as HCA production 2011 took to the boards! 



A splash of vibrant colour, outstanding live band provided from amongst the talented staff and internship program at the school, superb choreography and smiling faces are the memories that will never fade in the hearts of the 288 strong cast of Peace Child, and many, many helping hands of staff and parents who put this wonderful show together, under the guiding hand of Mrs Schnell, our drama teacher, ably assisted by Mrs Hawyes and music teacher, Mrs Pereira.









  Well done to all the children for their superb commitment and enthusiastic hearts!












It is the policy of HCA that all learners participate in the annual production, this year being the Intermediate Phase's turn to carry the main production.  The pictures were taken by Bonnydales Photography, and ARE COPYRIGHTED, so please do not copy from this site.  The cd's are available from the school office.

Marimba Mania!

At our fun photo shoot we did a few unusual shots and I thought that I would share this one with you!  From time to time we play so enthusiastically and with such passion that we accidentally break a note - this was posed!!!  We don't normally break them over someone's head...!

Crest Fest Art Exhibition

  
Look at all this Amazing Art



 
 





This year in our annual creative arts festival "CREST FEST", we had the opportunity of exhibiting 15 different schools Art! This was such a wonderful opportunity for teachers to exhibit their pupils work and for the sharing of ideas! The pupils also love having the opportunity of seeing what other children are doing in different schools! We hope that the our Crest Fest Exhibition continues to grow each year!


Thanks to all the Amazing Art teachers for sending their pupils fantastic work! A huge THANK YOU to BITS AND PIECES who supply our Art products for donating FANTASTIC hampers to all the participating schools!
