Coming Up Week 8
Coming Up Week 8
The Year 4 Showcase took place last Tuesday and was a great opportunity for students to share their learning with family and the wider school community. It gave real purpose to their work and helped build pride in what they’ve achieved. The event highlighted the strong foundation of learning being developed in our youngest ATC students. Thank you to the staff and students who made the day possible.
This Week in Music at ATC
We warmly invite you to attend one or both of our informal performances by the Concert Band and Junior Band, taking place during their usual rehearsal times this week. These relaxed concerts are a chance for students to share the results of their hard work and musical progress with family and friends.
All families are welcome, and we encourage parents to grab a coffee beforehand and enjoy the morning. After the performance, students will be treated to a bacon and egg roll and juice as a small celebration of their efforts.
We look forward to sharing this special occasion with you and thank you for your continued support of your child’s musical journey at ATC.
