Now in its eighth year, it is the fourth time Eurobodalla students have taken part in the national simultaneous singing event.

It involved 2,100 schools across the country. 

Students of all ages and abilities learnt and rehearsed ITALICS PLEASE Paint you a Song ITALICS PLEASE.

At 12.30pm, students from Batemans Bay Public School, Moruya Public School and St Bernard's Batehaven joined singers from a live video stream from a huge gathering in Sydney.

The were joined in spirit by Broulee Public School students, who were away at camp, but had earlier taken part in a video lip dub.

Broulee teacher Gee Hounsell said music improved literacy, numeracy, attendance and confidence.

“The lip dub involved taking a movie of students, teachers and staff dancing, waving, performing and singing as the song is playing,” Mrs Hounsell said. 

“The initiative joined technology and music in a fun and exciting way.” 

The event highlights music's important role in educational development.

Batemans Bay Public School principle Sue Maxworthy said it was exciting to be a part of such a big event. 

“Being a part of a national programme gives the school and the kids a national identity,” she said. 

“It links students to outside to see what other kids are doing.”

Ms Maxworthy said this years song have a good message. 

“Music is fun and gets kindergarten to year six involved,” she said. 

“Its great to see the school of 570 kids come together.”

Participating for the fourth year in a row, this years song was accompanied by the schools flute and recorder group. 

It is Batemans Bay Primary Schools goal to be apart of a live cross over to them singing in their school hall one year.
