Competing in Newcastle

Ettalong Primary School is among six Central Coast schools of a total of eight primary schools to compete in the Rock Eisteddfod at Newcastle Civic Centre on Tuesday, September 21.

The school's item is entitled The Journey and has a cast and stage crew of 120 children from kindergarten to Year 6.

The Journey is a story of four children who set out on a journey through the four seasons to search for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Principal Mr Bruce Donaldson said truly magnificent scenery along with tantalizing colours and spine-chilling energy would help to make the performance a truly memorable one for the whole school community.

This year's 25th annual Rock Eisteddfod Challenge has included Australian primary schools for the first time.
