Term One Week Four
Choir 2019
Children who have shown an interest in joining the St Columba's Choir have been coming along to choir sessions on Tuesday afternoons from 2.35 - 3.15pm. Choir is open to any students from Grades 3 - 6 who love to sing. Emphasis is on fun, participation and development of basic music literacy skills. The choir children will have several opportunities to perform and attend workshops/competitions throughout the year. Most events will be in school hours but sometimes attendance on weekends may be requested. More details and dates will follow early next term. There are no choir events during Term One.
It has been wonderful to see so many students coming along during the first few 'trial' sessions. Students who would like to continue will be asked to commit their time to the group for the remainder of the year. I encourage the children to stick with their decision and parental support in this would be greatly appreciated. A permission form to join the choir will be forwarded to interested students within the next two weeks via PAM.
This week the group listened to six excellent speeches and voted on four positions of leadership. We congratulate Bella H and Lilliana A who were elected Choir Captains and Isabella W and Tess T who were elected Vice Captains. These girls will be presented with their badges at the next school assembly.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any queries regarding the choir this year rhackwill@scballarat.catholic.edu.au
