Prep Music News
Prep students wrote their own percussion score, then contributed to a class score. They were recently recorded performing them. These performances (as part of a Learning Task) will be made available on Compass to Prep parents very soon. I hope you enjoy them!

'I Believe' - Junior School Choir
The Junior School Choir have been rehearsing a song called 'I Believe' by Melbourne singer/songwriter duo, Phil Splitter and Susie Davies-Splitter. The hand signs in the video below are Auslan, the sign language of the Australian deaf community. It is the first of a series of songs by this talented duo that I plan to share with the Choir. We are hoping to perform this song at an Assembly before the end of the year.
