Music
‘School’s out for Summer!’
‘We’re all going on a Summer Holiday’
‘It’s the most wonderful time of the year’
‘Summertime’
‘Sumer is icumen in’
Vivaldi’s ‘Summer’
Whatever your music playlist has queued, there’s no doubt that music and summer make a wonderful pair!
As we wrap up the year, we have a few events and performances still to come! From our students who will perform in the Christmas Celebration Services, Final Assembly, and of course Speech Day, there are still a few more joyous musical moments we can squeeze out of this year yet! We are so proud of the drive our students have found in their music-making this year, and they have certainly placed a stake in the ground for the one to come – when hopefully more freedoms will be afforded to Music classrooms across NSW.
