Music at Mary Bailey House and Del Monte

Music at Mary Bailey House (Curricular)

At Mary Bailey House we have been learning a new “Welcome Song” in a West African dialect. The song, Funga Alafia helps the students to sing about welcoming the day with their minds, their words and their hearts. The students are encouraged to use actions whilst singing as this enhances hand-eye coordination, vocabulary enrichment, improves confidence and enhances listening skills and following instructions.

Music at Del Monte (Curricular)

At Del Monte we have been singing with prayerful hearts and minds as we journey through Lent to Easter. Our liturgy songs tell the story of Jesus and we think about the words as we sing. We have rehearsed many songs for our Holy Week Liturgy and our Easter liturgy. It is really great to hear the joy in their voices when the students sing, both in class and as a whole school. Our musicians have learnt to play the repertoire to accompany the singing, honing their ensemble skills.
