Musica Viva has been inspiring students throughout Australia for over 30 years. More than twenty groups from all genres of music tour to over 1000 schools each year. This year there will be a performance at Palmerston District Primary School by ‘Dr Stovepipe’.
‘Down a dusty road from the 1930s comes Doctor Stovepipe, a rollicking, old-time ensemble of guitar, bass, fiddle and sweet vocal harmonies. Each appointment is a swinging dose of fun, and a demonstration of how songs evolve and change over time, as they are passed on from one musician to the next. Students learn how the simplest sounds and stories can be turned into toe-tapping tunes and can even write their own lyrics for Doctor Stovepipe to perform in the show.’

The ACT Education Directorate are supporting all ACT schools to provide teachers and school staff with two planning days this term. This will provide our staff with the time to further develop rigorous learning programs and fulfil Term 4 assessment and planning requirements.
If your child is required to be onsite during the Staff Planning Day, please contact the Front Office on 6142 1440 or email PDPS ( info_palmdps@ed.act.edu.au ) with your child/children's details. This is so the school can ensure there is adequate supervision in place, for the safety of the students.
