    Year 2 Quintet<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Congratulations to five students in Year 2 \u2013 Amelia Chow, Ivy Zhang, Fiona Wu, Kaylee Wang and Olivia Tan \u2013 who joined together to perform in front of over 200 people over the weekend to raise money for the Shepherd Centre which is a not-for-profit organisation providing specialised programs for children with hearing loss and their families. The girls visited the Shepherd Centre in Newtown during the holidays to learn more about the Speech Development Programs that they offer there and how difficult learning to speak is for children with hearing loss. On Saturday evening, the Year 2 Quintet performed a beautiful piece called \u201cCover Me in Sunshine\u201d at a fundraising charity dinner and the girls were warmly received by a very appreciative audience. Well done, girls for donating your time and talents to such a worthy cause! Music changes lives.<\/p>\n

    String Studio Concerts<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    String players will perform in String Studio Concerts to be held in Week 3 on Monday 24, Wednesday 26 and Friday 28 October. We are excited to be able to welcome parents onsite to provide an enthusiastic and appreciative audience for these concerts. Families can choose which day suits their schedule for their daughter to perform – either Monday, Wednesday or Friday.<\/p>\n

    Girls will be encouraged to announce their piece, perform and bow at the end. Performance opportunities of this nature, in a supportive and non-threatening environment, are vital to a musician\u2019s development. String tutors have been working with each girl in her lesson to prepare a solo piece to perform.<\/p>\n

    Please ensure that your daughter confirms her solo piece with her tutor, then submit this form for inclusion in one of the three String Studio Concerts in Week 3.<\/p>\n

    Unfortunately, the concert is now fully subscribed, and the link is now closed.\u00a0 We look forward to sharing the performances with those attending.<\/p>\n
