MUSIC MATTERSStudent Music Concert – Thursday 15 NovemberNext week we are holding the “Elecve Music Concert” in Room 68 at 5:30pm. While it has beentradionally called the “Elecve Music Concert”, it really is for any student in the school to play with theirband, sing in a group or put together a musical item of some descripon. The idea of this concert is toallow students to get together in groups and have lots of fun performing music. As such, this is not avenue for solo performance. The sign‐up sheet is in the Music Centre foyer and we encourage studentsfrom all over the school to perform.IMEB Speech and Drama Examinaon resultsCongratulaons to the all the students who sat their Speech and Drama examinaon last week.
