PERFORMING ARTS
Welcome back to Term 2. This term we welcome back our percussion teacher Mr Sergei Golovko who has been on leave. He has been meeting with all his students over the past week and has enjoyed hearing where their skills are at. We also welcome Mr Andrew Albanis who is now joining the McKinnon music staff in a full time capacity. He will split his time between both the classroom and his double bass teaching.
