All these vibrant learning experiences are anchored in the theoretical learnings of weekly music class time with Mrs Pensini \u2013 and we are grateful to our whole team for the way these diverse experiences are supporting our learners at Santa!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wonderful things are happening, and we look forward to sharing the achievements of these young musicians with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
