Band Supervision: Call for Parent Volunteers for Morning Rehearsals

As parents are now allowed back on the school site, we are excited to announce we can now organise a roster for parents to assist and supervise band rehearsals. The roster will start from Week 2 of Term 2. 

We require help with supervising band rehearsals from 07:50am to 08:50am morning. This year we would like to open the volunteering to all band groups. You are welcome to volunteer for any rehearsal on the mornings that suit you and not just for the band your child is in. 

The band co-ordinators have created a signup zone page. Please click on this link and enter your details for the time that best suits you (please note there is a different tab for each band group).
