Singing is one of the most powerful forms of connection, it brings us together and lifts our spirits. At St Joseph’s, we’ve started two new special singing initiatives and believe it’s bringing us closer as a school community. 

Every Thursday, following morning assembly the school now gathers together to sing our unique school song. All students from Foundation to Year 6 join voices to sing our St Joseph’s School Song.

“Singing the school song gets everyone involved and teaches us about the history of the school.  I like that everyone does the actions,” Year 5 Student, Hamish, said.

Whole school singing of our song provides our students with an opportunity to enjoy community singing, express school pride and revisit our St Joseph’s values which are reflected in the lyrics.

 This year, St Joseph’s also started a Singing Club! Each week students from across the grades join together to share the joy of singing.

Singing Club provides students with opportunities to develop their aural skills, explore songs from across music genres, enjoy group singing and share their love of music with the community. Students have learnt a range of songs including folk songs, camp songs, rounds and modern pop songs.

 In Week Seven, our talented students will be walking to Lyneham Shops where they will share their repertoire with the wider community. 

 “I am excited to go to Lyneham Shops and sing in front of other people because singing is one of my favourite things to do. The best part about Singing Club is learning new songs that I have never heard before,” Year 1 Student, Annabelle, said. 

Neighbours, families and friends will enjoy a lunchtime performance filled with joyous singing and fabulous movement.
