On Thursday, November 5, 2020 at 12:30pm, Year 4 students from APS joined together with hundreds of thousands of school children from all over Australia as part of the Music Count Us In Program 2020. The day is celebrated nationally, where right across the country, all registered schools sing the same song, on the same day, at the same time.  The main event is live streamed so that all participating schools can tune in and feel connected to the rest of the country as they sing the song that stops the nation! In 2020, the MCIU program faced difficulty with students in NSW being unable to sing. This unique challenge was innovatively solved by having students in NSW ‘sing’ using AUSLAN signing and perform percussion using chopsticks. The performance proved to be very uplifting and moving with the lyrics to the song having been written by Australian school students with the assistance of John Foreman OAM (Program Ambassador). The 2020 song was titled ‘You Won’t Bring Us Down’. Thank you to Mrs Donaldson for preparing the students for this wonderful experience.
