The Governor was pleased to hear about the success of the program from Principal Mrs Lee Musumeci and to meet students in the brass, strings, guitar and choir groups,
“Totally inspired to be at Challis Community Primary School this morning. The Principal Mrs Lee Musumeci, her teachers and the school are famous worldwide. They reflect brilliance in music and segue it into the basis of the students’ learning.
Also inspired by the degree to which parents are involved in the program. Only hope that the generosity shown by the community broadly and the business community in particular in the donation of instruments is continued and increased.”
