24.01.2022 Welcome back to term 2! Our staff have put together a little something for all our wonderful Murray Con students and parents. Can you spot your teacher? :) A huge thank you must go to Ruth Little for putting this awesome video together!!!

24.01.2022 Dear Parents/Guardians and Students, You may have heard about the changes to the border crossing arrangements. As current permits will become invalid, you will need to apply for a new permit. We have been assured that you will be able to search to see if your address falls within the new border zone by 2pm Monday on the Service NSW website.... If you are affected and believe you will need to return to online tuition, please contact us at [email protected] as soon as possible. If you need to temporarily withdraw, we will be waiving the 2-week withdrawal notice period. However, we hope that you can stay engaged and connected with your teacher, education and routine. For those of you returning to online tuition, please use the last link you had and keep an eye on your email as your teacher may send a new link. We’ll keep working through logistics as changes occur and we’ll keep in touch along the way. Please contact us at [email protected] if you have any queries. Please be patient with us as we work through logistics and please communicate with us to let us know how we can help support our community during this time.

24.01.2022 In the last 4 weeks we have delivered 34 concerts and 83 workshops to local NSW Public Schools.

Sarah Mitchell MLC for supporting highest quality music education in regional NSW.

23.01.2022 Border Closure: Dear Parents/Guardians and Students, You may have heard that the NSW-Victorian border will be closing from 12:01am on Wednesday 8 July.... Fortunately, we are currently at the start of school break and initial information indicates that there will be a permit system to allow Albury-Wodonga residents to cross the border for work and learning purposes. As the situation is fluid we will keep in touch with you to help ensure continuity of music education, routine and community-connectedness in Term 3. If you have any queries or concerns, please contact us at [email protected]. Please stay well and safe!

23.01.2022 It’s great for the Con to be delivering workshops and concerts directly into NSW Public Schools. In the past three weeks alone, there have been over 50 workshops and more than 20 concerts! We had a great time at Albury Public School - thank you to Sally Morris for organising it for us! Many thanks to The Hon. Minister Sarah Mitchell MLC for supporting music education in Regional NSW.

16.01.2022 Dear parents/guardians and students, We hope you’ve enjoyed the school break and we’re looking forward to safely welcoming you back for face-to-face tuition in Term 3. Border town residents are eligible to cross the border for the purpose of learning. If you need to cross the border, please ensure that you have obtained a Border Entry Permit (for students and accompanying adults).... The permit application is available online at https://www.service.nsw.gov.au//apply-covid-19-nsw-border- If you live more than 50km from the border and are not eligible to travel to your lesson, please contact us at [email protected] and we can arrange online tuition. If you’re experiencing any difficulties or need assistance please contact us. We’re keen to be of assistance in order to keep enriching lives and communities through quality music education.
