Holiday Road Trip: A Festive Journey with Our Year 5 & 6 Students

Our Year 5 and Year 6 students took the AISB community on an unforgettable journey during their Winter Concert, Holiday Road Trip, a vibrant, imaginative performance that blended music, drama, dance and humour with meaningful reflections on togetherness and the true spirit of the season.

The concert opened with the Senior Choir, whose performances of It’s the Season and Up on the Housetop set a warm and reflective tone. Through confident harmonies and expressive singing, students reminded the audience that this time of year is about kindness, connection and shared joy, not just celebration.

From there, the audience boarded a festive “bus” and travelled through a series of creative holiday destinations. Each stop brought its own personality and energy, with Year 5 and 6 classes presenting lively scenes filled with witty dialogue, strong characterisation and engaging choreography. Highlights included the upbeat Jingle Bell Jukebox, the playful Frosty Hand Jive, and the humorous chaos of A Wacky Family Christmas, all delivered with enthusiasm and teamwork.

As the journey continued, students explored different holiday moods and styles—from the smooth rhythms of Holiday Tango and Holiday Jazz to the comical workplace pressures of Should’ve Been a North Pole Elf and the tongue-in-cheek newsroom segment Fruitcake. These moments showcased not only students’ performance skills, but also their creativity, timing and growing confidence on stage.

The concert concluded with a joyful finale, We Need a Little Christmas, followed by a whole-community singalong of We Wish You a Merry Christmas. This shared moment brought together students, families and staff, perfectly capturing the message woven throughout the performance: that holidays are not about perfection, but about people, laughter and the memories created along the way.

We are incredibly proud of our Year 5 and Year 6 students for their commitment, collaboration and courage throughout this production. Thank you to our teachers, staff and families for your continued support, and for joining us on this festive road trip.

Holiday Road Trip reminded us that even when the journey takes unexpected turns, the most meaningful celebrations are those shared together. 🎄
