Assemblies

Assemblies are student-led, with each class at Hallam Primary School hosting an assembly during the school year to foster the development of public speaking skills, student leadership and interest in the Performing Arts.

Camps & Excursions Students from Prep to Year 6 participate in a wide variety of excursions, camps and extra-curricula activities during the school year.

Concert

The School Concert is held every second year and creates a whole school focus on The Arts. Held during third term, every student is involved in the preparation, rehearsals and presentation. The School Concert is always a sell out event at the Frankston Arts Centre.

Mini-Fete

Initiated to enhance the Numeracy program at Hallam Primary School, each class organises, resources and runs at least one stall at the fete, with students being largely responsible for the success of the day. Held during the warmer weather of Term Four, the Mini-Fete is always a fantastic afternoon with an exciting array of stalls and activities.
