HIRING INSTRUMENTS
For students who have opted to hire an instrument for 2023, these will be allocated in their first lesson by their instrumental Music Teachers. If a hire agreement has been signed and returned to the school, the student can take their instruments home as of next week.
MUSIC SUPPORT GROUP
The Music Support Group (MSG) is a group of parents, students and friends who support the instrumental music program with fundraising, concert events and excursions throughout the year. The group meets for an hour twice a term after hours to discuss upcoming events and to share ideas about how best to support the Music Program here at Vermont. It is a great way to meet other parents, make a connection with the school and provide support for students involved. If you are interested in participating, volunteering, or getting involved, please contact 8872 6369.
I look forward to seeing you all this year.
