Collaroy Music Camp
The Artarmon Public School Music Camp will be going ahead this year over the weekend of the 6th - 7th August at The Collaroy Centre, Collaroy for all BAND and STRING members from Year 4 to Year 6. The music camp provides our children with a great opportunity to not only bond with their fellow musicians, but also to help consolidate their skills ahead of The Concourse concert.
Please be advised that registration and payment for the camp is now required and must be completed no later than the 7th July.
An email was sent out with camp details on 21st of June from Nadia Gajic, our Music Camp Coordinator. Please check your Junk Mail folder or contact Nadia at nadiagajic@gmail.com if you have not received your email.
