State School Spectacular
On Saturday, 29th August, sixteen of Regency’s students danced their hearts out as part of the Victorian State Schools Spectacular at John Cain Arena. The show was called ‘This Is Me’ and told a story about finding your way, trying new things, and ultimately being your best self. Regency’s Dance Crew, featured in seven dances, all with a different theme, costume and props. We could not be prouder of the dedication they showed by attending weekly rehearsals, practicing at home along with the videos and giving their all to the final event. The entire concert was performed twice on Saturday, to two almost sold-out stadiums, and our students delivered! Thank-you for being a special part of the 2026 Spectacular Olive, Summer, Jess, Mackenzie, Anna, Vincent, Stella, Louella, Isla, Lola, Evie, Zahra, Ella, Liam, Nina and Vivienne. I am sure it was an experience you will never forget!
A special mention to Mila O, who successfully auditioned to be one of the principal dancers in the State Schools Spectacular! This is a significant achievement and a wonderful recognition of Mila’s hard work. Being selected has meant many additional rehearsals for Mila, along with the exciting opportunity to perform on stage as part of such a talented team. We are incredibly proud of Mila and it was a joy to see her shine on stage!
None of this would be possible without the incredible work of Mrs McGowan, who has once again championed our involvement in the State School Spectacular. We thank you for your enthusiasm and dedication in preparing our team for their performances. A special thank you also to Mrs Walton, who provided such valuable support in the lead-up to the event, and to the many other staff members and families who have supported rehearsals, worked behind the scenes and enthusiastically cheered our students on during their performances. We are incredibly grateful for the time, energy and support of everyone involved in making this such a wonderful opportunity for our students.
We look forward to seeing the broadcast on channel 7, later in the year!
Regency Certainly Does Have Talent!
In another nod to our Performing Arts program, this week we hosted our Regency’s Got Talent performances, and the talent on display was nothing short of extraordinary! From musical instruments and dancing to magic tricks and singing, the range of talent was incredible. It certainly brought our new school value of Courage to life. Getting up on stage and performing in front of such a large audience takes a great deal of courage. It also takes courage to put yourself forward in the first place, and we congratulate all of our students who bravely performed at the classroom level before progressing to the final performances.
Thank you to all the families who came along to support our talented students, as well as those who have assisted with the many rehearsals along the way. A special thank you to Mike Meeking for his organisation of the event, and to Mr Kelly, Ms Hawkins and Miss Fraser for their fantastic work as MCs.
Well done to all of our performers. You should be incredibly proud of yourselves!
Book Week
What a way to kick off the week, with our Book Week Costume Parade! A much-loved primary school rite of passage, Regency Park was transformed into a vibrant celebration of creativity, with students and staff alike bringing their favourite book characters to life.
Throughout the week, we have enjoyed reading the CBCA 2026 shortlisted books and taking part in fun activities that celebrate our love of reading. Thank you to the families and staff for supporting this special event.
Hats are Back!
A friendly reminder that school hats are required from the 1st September as we move into the warmer months. From next week, students without a school hat will be required to remain in the designated undercover areas during outdoor play and activities. School hats are available for purchase from the school office or through our uniform supplier, Spartan.
Thank you for helping us keep our students sun safe!
Hair Reminder
You may have seen our Compass post earlier this week regarding the occurrence of head lice at school. This is a timely reminder that, in line with our Dress Code and Uniform Policy, shoulder-length or longer hair must be tied back at all times while at school.
Tying hair back helps to reduce the spread of head lice and also supports student safety while playing and participating in activities in the yard. We appreciate everyone’s support in helping us maintain a safe and healthy environment for all students.
Happy News – Welcome to the world, Beau!
We are very happy to share that we have heard from Jayde Cairns, who welcomed her beautiful baby boy, Beau, on 28th August.

Every Child. Every Opportunity.
With courage and commitment,
Allyson Kocaj
