CHOIR NOTES
Congratulations to the students of the Recital Choir for their wonderful performance at the Choral@Montsalvat Festival on Sunday. It was their first performance for the year, and it was terrific seeing the students looking so smart in their choir uniforms, performing with such confidence.
I would like to thank the Jenny Cranston for all her work making scrunchies and ties so that the students looked so well presented. I would also like to thank these parents for giving up their precious weekend hours to help out for the uniform Working Bee last term. Thank you Jingjing Chu, Kate Maddison, Melissa Stephens, Nicola Martinson and Laura Powell.
The Recital Choir's next performance will be on Friday 26th May at the Greensborough Salvation Army.
Best Wishes
Kate Stewart.
