During term four of 2015, Meadow Heights Primary School students in year six worked with the Song Room Teaching Artist Debra Goldsmith to produce a graduation banner for their school to celebrate their time at Meadow Heights Primary School. Debra worked with the students to learn basic painting techniques and explore themes of their homelands, families etc.

Each child painted their own square, that would come together to create a design of four people in a circle holding hands.

Each person in this picture represented a season of time at the school and linked in with the Meadow Heights School song that was simultaneously being created by students at Meadow Heights with Song Room Teaching Artist, Elisse Kleiner.

The end result is vibrant and celebratory and the students and staff of Meadow Heights are very proud of the work that has been created.

Lyrics

From the summer day that school begins
We open wide our doors
To welcome friends from all around
For we celebrate diversity
And the cultures that we share
We stand proud on this multicultural ground

Come sing with me in harmony
We’re a safe and happy school
We’ve come so far, we’re proud of who we are at Meadow Heights

In the autumn time the teachers shine
We know how much they care
They inspire and encourage everyone
There is excellence within us all
We want to try our best
When they joke they make our learning fun

Come sing with me in harmony
We’re a safe and happy school
We’ve come so far, we’re proud of who we are at Meadow Heights

Winter’s here and our friends are near
To warm us in the cold
We play soccer and share hot chocolate in the grade
Friends notice us, respect us and we know we’re not alone
It may be wet day but still we will play!

Come sing with me in harmony
We’re a safe and happy school
We’ve come so far, we’re proud of who we are at Meadow Heights

The winds of spring return to sing
We love to express ourselves
To perform and sing and dance and play
We enquire about the world around
Build friendships playing sport
We prepare for our graduation day

Come sing with me in harmony
We’re a safe and happy school
We’ve come so far, we’re proud of who we are at Meadow Heights

Come sing with me in harmony
We’re a safe and happy school
We’ve come so far, we’re proud of who we are at Meadow Heights
