IT was no ordinary Monday for students at Greenbank State School last week, who received the surprise of their lives at a special school assembly.
Squeals of delight echoed through the school hall when The Voice stars Gail Page, Scott Newnham, Liam Maihi and Naomi Price walked through its doors.
The Team Ricky contestants visited the school as a reward for its being the top earner in Woolworths' 2014 Earn and Learn promotion.
School acting deputy principal Mark Hitchen said the visit had come as a very welcome shock to the school community.
"The producer from The Voice requested that the visit be kept as ‘top secret’ from the students," he said.
"Naomi, Scott, Gail and Liam surprised all of our students."
Mr Hitchen said Team Ricky sang several songs for the students, before the school choir was given the chance to reciprocate.
"Our school principal Christine Quinn described the visit as an exciting and enriching experience for all of our students," he said.
"All members of Team Ricky praised the school community for the exemplary manners that the students displayed during the presentation."
The school visit was broadcast on Channel Nine on Sunday night, as part of the show's first live performances.
