Esther also hopes to be included in the Relay Team which will be selected by Team Managers while on Tour. The Tour promotes positive education and cultural exchange through athletics. Well done Esther! Berinba looks forward to hearing how all about your trip when you return next year. Ray Claydon (Principal)

MUSIC COUNT US IN—Congratulations on our biggest year yet! We did it! Recently more than 2,150 schools (and more than half a million kids) sang the same song, at the same time, from Adelaide to Albany, Canberra to Coogee, Mount Isa to Mount Druitt, Bundaberg to Ballarat, Launceston to Lord Howe Island, Halls Creek to Humpty Doo. Schools performed on beaches, in the street, in shopping malls, atop skyscrapers, in performing arts centres, in school halls and classrooms, the whole country coming together to celebrate music education. (Forwarded to Berinba by the organisers of MUSIC-Count US In via email)

Berinba was once again privileged to take part in the NSW Schools Spectacu-lar which took place in Sydney last week. It was a wonderful experience which was televised last weekend. Congratulations to all involved.
