School Choirs

Laburnum Primary School’s Year 3/4 and Year 5/6 Choirs are made up of very enthusiastic students who love music. The groups rehearse weekly, learning about singing skills and focusing on a variety of pieces. In the past, students have performed at a variety of concerts and public events. 

Green Team

Green Team leaders work with other students to promote sustainability at Laburnum Primary School. Once a week eligible students have an opportunity to come help out in the kitchen garden (weather permitting) at lunch time. The students love to get their hands dirty and get involved in cleaning up the kitchen garden, re-soiling, pulling out weeds, planting new seeds and watching and taking care of our produce. We enjoy growing produce and also thinking of ways our school can be environmentally friendly.
