Music News
Into the swing of it!
Our music program is off to a great start! A big thank you to all the parents who have registered their child in a musical group.
Just a quick reminder to ensure your child has their required music text. They will need a My Mini Music Book for their lessons. If your child does not have one, please contact the school.
Below, you’ll find the timetables for music groups at the school. Please remember that your child will need to bring a display folder to keep their music organized.
Thank you for your support!
Choir
The choirs are now set for the year! Please remind your child that joining the choir is a year-long commitment. Additionally, participation in the choir is a requirement for those interested in being part of the musical.
We encourage as many voices as possible to join in—they already sound fantastic!
