School kids Bilby Bop into Easter
COWBOYS and cowgirls had a boot scootin’ time at the end of Malanda State School’s Term 1 this year, with their annual easter “Bilby Bop” showcasing their talents in the performing arts.
The 20-year long tradition of “Bilby Bop” has uncovered plenty of hidden talent over the last two decades, with performances from students from Prep to Grade 6.
Deputy principal Shannon Palmer was beyond proud of the efforts the kids went to, learning different styles of music and dance throughout the term.
“It was a wonderful occasion where the Prep-Year 3 students showcased the dance skills that they have learned throughout Term 1 in Music under the guidance of the music specialist teacher, Jane Hopkinson,” she said.
“Our choir and dance leaders also had the opportunity to further develop their leadership skills by operating the technical side of things.
“Our MSS Dance Crew kick-started the night by providing pre-event entertainment and supporting our younger students with a disco after the performances.”
Students who were not on stage were also helping behind the scenes, with Year 6 students using the night as an opportunity to help out with the community service program.
