Student Voice

At Flagstaff Hill Primary we believe student voice is invaluable.

Student voice empowers students, fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility for their education.

In 2024 we will have 3 Student Action Teams

1. Community Connect Action Team

• Students represent their class when making decisions about school improvement and decisions. They discuss what's working well, and brainstorm improvements to make the school even better.
• Responsible for creating and hosting events in our school community
• Communicate to governing council with a student perspective

2. Eco Warriors Environmental Impact Action Team

• Starting a nude food revolution at FHPS
• Working on improving our school environment

3. URSTRONG Wellbeing Action Team

• Students to work on lunchtime activities and student led games. These include both sports based and non-sporting activities
• Working on making sure everyone feels a sense of belonging
• Leading mindfulness and brain break activities for all classes to share.

At Flagstaff Hill Primary School, we recognise the overall benefits of learning and playing a musical instrument.

2025 Instrumental Music Expressions of Interest

Students in year 3-6 have the opportunity to learn an instrument at school in 2025. Qualified instrumental teachers are supplied through the Department for Education's Instrumental Music Program, and we allow students time out of their regular classroom to attend lessons – ½ an hour each week.
Lessons are capped at a certain number of students and priority is given to the youngest year level eligible. Once numbers are reached students will go on a waiting list.
Final instrument selection will be at the discretion of the instrumental teacher and will depend on student’s size, hand span, teeth position and instrument availability.
As the lesson cost is funded by the Department for Education, students can only participate in 1 Department Instrumental program, not both.

Strings (Violin, Viola, Cello) – No tuition Fee - Year 3-6
String lessons taught by department teacher Kirsty.
Students in year 3 in 2025 are given first priority for lessons.

Students in year 5 in 2025 are given first priority for lessons.
