During this past week it has been our privilege to host a group of 30 students and two staff from Linfield Christian School, California. Their visit marked another chapter in our long-standing relationship with the school, and it was a joy to welcome them into our community.
The students were generously billeted by our school families. During their stay, the Linfield students enjoyed some sightseeing, which included tours to popular Sydney sites as well as the local area, spending quality time with their host families.
Their visit had a strong focus on performance. Linfield students joined our Concert Band members in rehearsals at school on Friday morning, culminating in a spectacular joint performance at the Sydney Opera House on Saturday — an unforgettable opportunity for all involved. Many students commented on how amazing it was to play on the stage of the concert hall and the amazing sound they produced.
On Monday, the Linfield band performed at our Secondary and Junior School assemblies, sharing their talent with the entire school. As well as playing Bluey, another hit song was “A Day at the Zoo” which caught our imagination listening to the instruments painting a picture of watching animals in the zoo. The following day, they explored more of Sydney, before departing on Wednesday, some returning to California and others continuing on to Cairns.
This cultural and musical exchange was a truly enriching experience for our students, families, and staff. A heartfelt thank you to all our host families and staff who contributed their time and care to accommodate our guests. We look forward to continuing this wonderful connection in years to come.
