25.01.2022 Music at Firbank is back! Last night Twilight Jazz launched the music year and what a sensational concert parents and friends were treated to. It was so good to see our Firbank girls perform various ensembles and see the smiles of students, staff, and parents. The Bands and Choirs also delighted the audience with their outstanding performances. Thank you to all the parents and staff that helped make this magical night happen. Stay tuned for more music to come! #KnowValueCare ... #AspirationalCultureOfLearning #2021YearOfLivingCuriously #EvidencedBasedQualityTeachingPractices #PositiveClassroomCulture #FirbankGrammarSchool #MusicAtFirbank #TwilightJazz See more

12.01.2022 Firbank Grammar are very proud to be the first school in the world to trial the Contact Harald tracing system. Our Year 10 girls were thrilled to be a part of the trial which uses blue tooth signals to tracks your location which is different to most tracing aps. Click below to view some of our Year 10 students alongside Deputy Principal and Head of Senior School, Mrs Leandra Turner on Channel 10 news last week. #FirbankGrammarSchool #KnowValueCare #HaraldContactTracing https://vimeo.com/485256537

10.01.2022 Today was a fun day for the boys and girls at Sandringham Campus. It was Step Up day where the students met their class and teacher for 2021. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the boys and girls missed out on the annual Kids Night event so instead a mini carnival was set up as well today with games and an inflatable slide. #FirbankGrammarSchool #FirbankSandringhamCampus #FirbankCoedCampus #StepUpDay #KnowValueCare

09.01.2022 Last week our past and present Firbank VCE Dance students attended the VCE Dance Top Class Concert at the Melbourne Recital Centre, where they were lucky enough to watch both Lucinda Mottram and Tara Booth perform their externally assessed dance solos from 2020. The concert provided a range of examples of top performing students, including Lucinda and Tara, as well as insights into the process of preparing for VCE performance examinations. #KnowValueCare #AspirationalCulture...OfLearning #2021YearOfLivingCuriously #EvidencedBasedQualityTeachingPractices #PositiveClassroomCulture #FirbankGrammarSchool #FirbankVCEDanceStudents #VCEDanceTopClass See more

08.01.2022 Firbank are grateful that after an extremely challenging year last night we were able to host a COVIDSAFE Valedictory evening for the Class of 2020. The Church service and celebratory dinner were held outdoors in accordance with current Victorian State Government restrictions.

08.01.2022 After 10 weeks of online and face-to-face learning, the Year 6 boys and girls at our Sandringham Campus presented their Exhibition to the Firbank and wider communities. The Transdisciplinary theme of ‘How the world works’ focused on using Science to find solutions to global problems. Students inquired into their area of interest, asking and answering conceptual questions they had devised. Congratulations to all students involved for their incredibly hard work throughout the inquiry process. The success of the day was an absolute credit to their efforts. #FirbankGrammarSchool #FirbankSandringhamCampus #FirbankCoedCampus #KnowValueCare #PYPExhibition

07.01.2022 Over an exciting three days, we watched our Firbank sailors achieve some amazing results at the 2021 Victorian School Teams Racing Championships lead by their captain Charlotte W. Firbank Grammar came away winning two trophies, 1st GSV School (Girls Sport Victoria) and 1st Girls Team (Krystal Trophy). Our sailors are now Victorian State Teams Sailing Champions. They have now qualified to represent Victoria at the Nationals in NSW, with a lot of laughs and some very anxious mo...ments from some tight racing in the finals. Thank you to our coach Chloe at RBYC, our team manager Kate G and the parents for all their help. Go team Firbank! #KnowValueCare #AspirationalCultureOfLearning #2021YearOfLivingCuriously #EvidencedBasedQualityTeachingPractices #PositiveClassroomCulture #FirbankGrammarSchool #FirbankSailors #2021VictorianSchoolTeamsRacingChampionships

04.01.2022 Today is Remembrance Day. The day that the guns fell silent at the end of World War 1. Initially people stopped at 11.00 a.m. on the 11th day of the 11th month to remember the generation of young people who died in that conflict. Since then there have been more wars and more deaths and Remembrance Day has become more than just a reminder of a time when the guns stopped firing. This year is the 75th anniversary of the end of World War 2. This along with the global pandemic, reminds us that we need to do more to create a peaceful world where people can work together for the betterment of all. #FirbankGrammarSchool #KnowValueCare #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget
