Music Assembly
Today’s assembly was a showcase of the music program and was ably compared by our Music Captains Miriam, Evie, Lucas, and Noah. Our collective thanks go out to Mrs Bertolini for the time she puts into coordinating the assembly which reflects the exemplary program at Richmond.
A Message from the Music Captains
This morning the whole school community was here to watch the amazing Music Assembly that took us around the world. We were so lucky to have the lovely Mrs Bertolini working hard in the weeks leading up to this event and to help us out through the assembly today. Thank you to Ellie Larkin and Emily Seedman for helping the Pre-Primaries and all the teachers who gave up their teaching time to help the kids with their assembly piece. We would also like to say a big thanks to Mrs Bertolini for making the music assembly possible.
