Music
Thank you to the Music Support Group for our meeting which took place in Week 2. With three of our wonderful parents having children reach the end of their school education, we are looking to recruit some more parents to the team. The Music Support Group is a team of fabulous parents who support and help nurture our young musicians. They provide funding of instruments, composition commissions, as well as lessons for students playing the harpsichord. All parents work together to help with concerts by providing saleable items and being part of a creative network of friends. If you are interested in being part of this team, please email Sarah Turner on sturner@pymblelc.nsw.edu.au
PAC
Congratulations to Lizzie Tang (Year 12) and Maddie Taylor (Year 12) for their superb organisation of PAC. Special shout out to ALL the amazing performers. It is always such a wonderful array of performances, from stand-up comedy to K-Pop dancing to opera. Narrowing down a winner is going to be a difficult task. I am so impressed at each student who showed courage and resilience in their performances. BRAVO!
