Ryde Eisteddfod
Dear Parents and Carers,
In the current climate bus companies, due to staff shortages they are unable to guarantee or provide us with a service to transport the student’s safety to and from Ryde. Therefore, unfortunately Artarmon Band must pull out of competing in this year Ryde Eisteddfod.
Please contact Band Convenors at band.artarmonpandc@gmail.com if you have any questions.
Collaroy Music Camp
Registration and payment for the camp is now closed. Our Music Camp Coordinator, Nadia Gajic has sent out important information relating to the Music Camp being held on 6th – 7th August 2022. Please take time to read the email carefully to ensure camp runs smoothly and is enjoyable and safe for everyone, including COVID SAFE protocol. Please check your junk mail folder if you have not received the email or contact the Music Camp Coordinator.
