Music Camp Final Arrangements
It's almost time for music camp, I'm sure all the students are excited! The final details have been emailed to parents, if you have not received an email subject 'Music Camp 2019 – Final Information' or you have any questions please contact artarmonmusiccamp@gmail.com.
Please remember:
Make way for the buses! Do not park outside the school on Macmillan or Abbott Roads when dropping off or collecting your child for music camp as the buses need space to park.
Do not send your child to camp if they are sick! Whilst we hope all musicians will be able to attend the weekend, no child will enjoy or benefit from it if they are unwell. Just let us know by calling Joanne on the phone number provided in the information you have been emailed.
Please be patient when signing your child in and out. There are a lot of children involved and our parent volunteers will be doing their best to make everything run smoothly. Remember that the admin procedures are for the benefit and safety of your child.
We all owe huge thanks to the music camp organisers, who are a group of parent volunteers from band and strings, led by Joanne Wang (mum of Ashley and Jennifer Ou in strings), assisted by:
- Ruping Xie (Xielin Yan 4SA/SS)
- Rachel Yao (Kevin Wang 6MS/SB)
- Karen P’ng (Mark P’ng 5LW/CS)
- Paco Luo (Zhan Luo 6MS/SB)
- Yihong Wang (Andrew Zhang 6MS/SB)
- Yang Lin (Robinson Lu 6EA/SS)
- Sherry Qiao (Sophie Yi 6MS/SB)
- Annie Liu/Frankie Chen (Hayden Chen 6EA/SB)
- Grace Wang (Andre Chen 6MS/SB)
- Ivy Li (Cordelia Xie 6EA/SB)
Many thanks also to all the parents who will be helping over the weekend. We couldn't do it without you!
