It’s been a wonderful opportunity to listen to music and develop an awareness of our own engagement with music. I have really appreciated that students have shared

It’s been a long time coming, but this week we finally welcomed all students back to school. Over the last two weeks, we have welcomed back students through a staggered and safe return – and even though we’ve only had 30-minute sessions, it’s been so exciting seeing everyone engage and participate with their Health &
