The Essington School Darwin 6 Music News Patricia Curry and Maslin Armitage opened the Middle School Assembly last week. The Middle School will now be enjoying music items at Assembly as much as the Junior School are. Thanks to Samuel Roussos and Dexter Lee for their keyboard performances at the Junior School Assembly. Lara DeRubeis, Kristin Smith and April Pratt have commenced voice lessons and we hope they enjoy being part of our music program. We enjoyed hearing the following students at our Middle School Concert last Friday lunchtime: McLeod Atkinson, Kieran Caraher, Eleni Glynatsis, Yianni Glynatsis, Kate Huntingford, Kiara Musco, Michael Pham, Andrea Simpson, Kristin Smith and Oliver Zagorski. We look forward to more of these throughout the year. Our Junior School choir excelled at the Harmony Day Concert at the Philipino Community Centre last Saturday night. Many thanks to Mrs Watson for preparing them so well and to Digby Barrow for accompanying the choir. The children enjoyed the evening very much. We also congratulate Monique Smith for her performance with the Irish dancing troupe on the night. Jill Kuhn Music Director Library Notices Thank you to Ms Marijana's Transition class and Ms Chiera's Year 1 class for their beautiful colouring-in of an assortment of Beatrix Potter pictures. The Library windows look fantastic in time for Easter. Did you know that Beatrix Potter was the first person to 'patent' a toy? The character she selected was the mischievous Peter Rabbit! Making him the oldest licensed character. Book Club is in! Please see me at the Library to collect your order.

Kathy Ryan Librarian After School Care Notices Well, what a busy term we have had so far. We have welcomed some new students and sadly said farewell to others. At present we are looking at Easter and the children are making craft activities relating to this topic.

ASC is fundraising for new equipment and games with ice-cups on sale for 50c each at the Preschool. We also have a Guess the Number of Eggs raffle which is also located in the Preschool. Please come and lend your support. The ASC students are very keen on getting a pretend hair dressing salon up and running.
