From the Heads of Music
Diana Springford – Acting Head of Music Performance and Head of Music Curriculum K-6
Daniel Burley – Acting Head of Music Curriculum 7-12
Changes in the Music Department
Last Friday, we sadly said farewell to David Gwilliam after over 5 years as our Head of Music at Emanuel School. We celebrated his many achievements and contribution to the musical life of the School at our staff morning tea. Until his position is filled, Danny Burley will be Acting Head of Curriculum for Years 7-12 and Diana Springford will be Acting Head of Performance and Head of Curriculum for Years K-6.
We are pleased to welcome Elizabeth Birrell to our Music Department. Elizabeth will be teaching Music classes in Years K and 2, and Years 5 to 8 and joins us having worked most recently at Wenona School, and previously at PLC Croydon, Danebank, Loreto Kirribilli and Redlands.
Final call for Music Campers
We have a wonderful group of talented students from Years 4-12 registered to attend our annual Emanuel School Music Camp in July. Our participants list is being finalised and a detailed information letter with a packing list will be sent out to attendees mid-term. If you are unsure whether you have registered or not, please check that your name is on the lists on the noticeboard in the Music Department.
For those parents who chose to pay by instalments, please note that an email was sent to you last week as a reminder that your 2nd (final) instalment of $248 is now payable.
