Welcome back and welcome to the start of Term 2. The holidays are already a distant memory. But that means we’re here now and looking forward to a busy and exciting term. First matter is:

1. Strings has a new email address:

Please note the new email address for strings

strings.artarmonpandc@gmail.com

And now for the fun stuff:

2. Mothers’ Day Concert 8 am Thursday May 9^th in the new school hall

Students arrive 7:40am to help set up.

All parents are invited to attend our first concert of the year. There’ll be performances by three groups – Junior, Concert and Senior Strings. There’ll be yummy finger buns provided by our local Bakers Delight, and make sure you stick around to the end so your child can give you a special flower.

More volunteers are needed in the kitchen and to help direct the students.

Let me know if you can help out.

No entry fee, but gold coins needed for tea, coffee and buns.
