Performing Arts
The Performing Arts Captains play a significant role in promoting the Arts in the school community including performance groups such as choir, school orchestra and dance.
Students who have been learning a brass, woodwind or percussion instrument for at least 12 months can join the Laburnum Orchestra. Being a member of the orchestra provides students with the opportunity to interact and work with students across the school and be part of a team.
Laburnum Primary School’s Year 3/4 and Year 5/6 Choirs rehearse weekly, learning about singing skills and focusing on a variety of pieces to perform at assemblies and public events.
Orchestra and Choir operating days/times are TBC.

Junior School Council
The Junior School Council provides students with an avenue for 'student voice' and contributing positively to their school community. It allows students the opportunity to experience leadership at Laburnum Primary School and consists of two student representatives from each class in Years 1 to 6. Through active involvement, the Junior School Council encourages student participation within the decision making processes for fundraising, presentations, school events, charity focuses and school recommendations.
Sustainability
Sustainability Captains work with other interested students across the school in the kitchen garden at lunch times. The students enjoy the hands on experience involved in cleaning up the kitchen garden, re-soiling, pulling out weeds, planting new seeds and watching and taking care of the produce. Students involved enjoy growing produce and also thinking of ways our school can be environmentally friendly.
