Phil Cummings Author visit
The Resource Centre was delighted to host South Australian author, Phil Cummings, in Week 7 this term. He worked with all classes in the school telling them about the process of writing a book, how he collects his ideas and how they could improve their own writing. Phil told stories and read extracts from some of his books. He even shared some of his songs with us. We all had enjoyable sessions with Phil and learnt a lot from him.
The Festival of Music is turning 130 this year and they are on the search for Alumni.
If you have ever been a performer as part of the Festival of Music, they would love to have you involved. Performers may have been in choir, orchestra, troupe or compere/hosts. If you performed on the stage, they would love to hear from you.
One of our choral pieces for 2021 is Sisi Ni Moja which means ‘We are One’ in Swahili and follows the theme that all human beings have much in common!! The plan is to create a Virtual Choir featuring Alumni from the past. All you need to do is learn the song and record yourself singing it and upload it and they do the rest. At the concert they will have the virtual choir singing on the screens while our 1,500 choir students sing along live. It’s going to be spectacular! They would also love to have images of past Alumni and see ‘Where are they now?’
