LMSG Meeting | Tuesday 7 May | 6pm
Our next Laurie’s Music Support Group Meeting will be on Tuesday 7 May in room MU1 (Top floor VAPA building). A great way to support your son at SLC is by joining the parent’s music support group. Meetings are once a month on the second Tuesday of each month (term time).
If you would like further information regarding any of the above, please contact the music department: music@slc.qld.edu.au or telephone 3010 1138.
We look forward to sharing with families the many performances by our talented students this Term.
Music Communications – Lauries App
The Music Department now uses the College App as our main point of contact with families.
We have redefined the groups under Music and do ask you take a couple of minutes to update your preferences to ensure you receive the relevant notifications for this ensemble.
Note: You will receive notifications for all ensembles under the categories you subscribe to, however it will be clear which ensembles that notification relates to.
Any events that fall outside the usual ensemble routine may require a parent or guardian consent, and if required, an invitation will be sent via parent lounge.
Year 5 parents, please ensure your subscriptions include the Year 5 Music Program under ‘Music.’ Any program updates or performance information will be posted here once available.
Strike up the Band!
