In Term I, Director of Music at St Ives, Martin Smith OAM, organised a new initiative for the boys.
The Music Practice-A-Thon had the dual aims of increasing musical instrument practice across the School while also raising money through sponsorship to support a worthy cause. Over the course of one month, 100 boys participated in the Music Practice-A-Thon and completed an impressive 1380 hours of extra practice, raising a whopping $9300 in the process.
The money raised was donated to the Sir Eric Woodward School (SEWS) which provides quality education to pupils with a disability, such as moderate to severe physical and intellectual disabilities, sensory impairment and/or autism spectrum disorder. Congratulations to all boys involved for their fine efforts.
