Songs performed included: Someone Like You by Adele – Choir, Let It Be, Beatles and Crazy by Gnarls Barkley – Small Band and many more.
“Thank you to Kerry Challenger and team from Sugar Plum Tea and Coffee House for hosting us to perform for their Can Assist fundraiser event today. And thank you to the members of the public who cheered our students, supported and congratulated our students in their music endeavours. The students gained so much confidence from today and are really excited for future performances,” said an elated, Mr Turner, QHS Music Teacher, who coordinated the event.
Kerry and the team, were delighted to support our students.
“Today we are hosting a fundraiser for ‘Can Assist’, we do 6 fundraisers for them per year through our morning teas, we donate $5.00 from every person participating,” said Kerry, who continued it was positive to host the QHS students today… “My grandmother, Merle Sullings one of the first students of QHS at the current location. She always said every child should have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument and it’s just wonderful to be able to offer that through the café.”
Congratulations to all involved, and thank you to Mr Turner for your efforts in coordinating today and to all involved.
Also, Happy Birthday Denise Rutter for today.
