A Celebration of Talent

On Wednesday night we held our first music celebration. This event involved approximately 55 children and attracted a huge crowd for our school of over 100 parents, grandparents, and other family members. We are very proud of all the children's achievements in their growth as musicians and performers - keep up the awesome work team!

A huge thank you to Liz Nichol and Nicky Wuts our amazing music teachers who are making such an amazing difference to our school and community through this superb programme.

The programme for the evening can be downloaded here if you would like to keep it.

We are especially grateful to the team at the Thrift Shop who have supported the school with donations of funds towards musical instruments. Thank you also Bridget and Penny from the PTA who helped provide tea and coffee.

Thank you all for your support.

New Music Tutors at Burnham School!

We have got two very talented people starting up a music tuition programme at our school this year! Nicky Lillicrap and Liz Nichol will be offering tuition for individuals and small groups of children. Some of this will be in school time and there will also be some after school slots.

Families will need to opt in and pay up front; in addition, staff will have final approval for those students who will undertake an instrument during class time.

Liz will be teaching guitar, vocals and starting up a choir in the school. Liz will also be relieving in the school. Nicky will teach piano up to grade 5 and percussion. Please welcome these two talented people to our team and community.

This system will be a user pays system and we hope to design it so that it is sustainable and long lasting for the benefit of our tamariki and school.

For more information on the programme, including a form for signing up to show your interest, please go to: www.burnham.school.nz/music where updated information will be placed as we develop this exciting programme.
