♥️💚WHAT. A. WAY. TO. FINISH. THE. YEAR!💚♥️

Our Upwey Lyrebirds Aerobics Team have just competed at the TFT National Championships on the Sunshine Coast, and we could not be more proud of them! 🥹✨

They took to the floor and delivered their best performance of the year, absolutely smashing it with ZERO DEDUCTIONS and an incredible score of 84.5! 👏

To see how far these girls have come, the hours of training, the commitment, the nerves, the determination and the sheer love they have for performing… it all came together on that floor. 💪🏼♥️

But what makes us even prouder is the way they represented Upwey Primary School. They cheered on other teams, congratulated their competitors, celebrated the achievements of others and carried themselves with such grace, humility and pride. They held their heads high and showed exactly what being part of a team is all about.

Something to be immensely proud of.

Congratulations Lyrebirds, you absolutely soared at Nationals! 🦅♥️💚

Our students are absolutely loving our new outdoor spaces! From exploring our inclusive garden and creating music with the wellbeing instrument, to drawing in our Indigenous sandbox and discovering the trinkets hidden throughout our newly opened fairy and dragon garden, there are so many opportunities for imagination, creativity and connection.

It's been wonderful to see these spaces come to life with so much joy, curiosity and play!

✨ Here's a sneak peek at our magical Fairy & Dragon Garden! 🧚🐉

Our enchanting little garden is starting to come together, and we've already had some beautiful additions. If you happen to have any fairy or dragon garden ornaments looking for a new home, we'd love to give them one! They will be treasured in our dedicated fairy garden space.

You might notice the garden looks a little bare at the moment... that's because the fairies and dragons have been busy! They've whisked away all the new treasures and special decorations to keep them safe until the official announcement. They wanted to make sure their magical home stays a surprise for everyone!

Mrs French will be sharing with all of our students at Monday's assembly how to care for and respect this special space before its magical residents make their grand arrival.

I've heard the fairies and dragons are very excited to return with all their special bits and pieces after Mrs French gives everyone the all-clear. We can't wait to reveal the finished Fairy & Dragon Garden! ✨🧚🐉

Sharing a beautiful moment where our senior students are teaching one of our Foundation students how to shoot hoops. 🥰

Finishing our city adventures with the MCG was an absolute treat. The tour of the stadium, MCC members' area, corporate boxes, team locker rooms, media space, and cricket training nets was something to remember. The MCG museum was also incredible, with many interactive opportunities and memorabilia to admire. We were fortunate to listen to a speech from Olympic taekwondo athlete Stacey Hymer, who shared the highs and lows of her incredible career. We will certainly be looking out for her at the next Olympics! After a long walk back to accommodation, students now have all their belongings and are heading home on the train as we speak. With tired, exhausted bodies and feet, but hopefully memories to last a lifetime.

Another busy day exploring the city. We began with a shopping trip to the Queen Victoria Market, where the students enjoyed spending their money on a variety of things. They then headed to the IMAX theatre to watch a documentary about Australia - the screen alone was impressive enough! We concluded our outing with one of our most interesting activities, a tour of the Old Melbourne Gaol, where students were engaged and asked lots of interesting questions. We still can’t believe how lucky we have been with the weather! We finished our day with some relaxation time at our accommodation, hot chocolates, and a movie.
