The music students sang and played with confidence and joy on
their faces, welcoming the Christmas spirit and the passersby,
who were intrigued by the execution of their performances.
Young children danced to their songs, people walking past
stopped to enjoy the show and all generously donated money.
After the busking, the music students were left in awe as the
Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO) performed the score to
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. The students learnt a
new way in which musicians can engage a wider community
through touring and holding large events and collaborating with
other art forms. Students enjoyed hearing the orchestra perform
as the movie played ahead, flashing back to the early 20th
century and the era of silent films and live music performances.
The students learnt a great deal about making money doing
what they love and donating it to a well deserving charity. The
MSO gave students a taste of what they can do in the future,
opening up more ideas for what they can become.

12 VCAL students have been planting gum trees to replace the
13 trees which were removed from the Eastern Campus earlier
this year. The students took ownership of the project with both
hands - deciding where the new trees will be located, ensuring
they were properly planted and secured, and making sure that
they were well watered and cared for throughout the
remainder of Head Start. The students thoroughly enjoyed the
project, and are looking forward to engaging in more
community projects in the New Year.

cepting a student into your home and family you will be paid
