A big thank you to all these parents who have volunteered to help with band this year. Your assistance is greatly appreciated!
We still need to fill the following volunteer roles to assist with the running of Band in 2021/2022:
- Band Secretary 2021
- Band Convenor 2022 (Co-convenor 2021) – Needed!
By volunteering you will be making a valuable contribution to the APS Community and the running of the Band program. Your child(ren) will love to see you get involved and it’s a great way to help with the local school community!
Many of the band committee roles are flexible and can be performed from home with a computer and internet connection.
If you are interested in getting involved in the music program as a parent volunteer or would like more information about volunteer roles available email band@artarmonpandc.org.au
THANK YOU!
