We performed the same song, “Different People
Stand Together” at the same time as over
600,000 other school students across Australia
on Thursday 1st November 2012 to highlight the
importance of music education for ALL students.
At 12:30 p.m. the whole school joined in singing
Different People Stand Together led by some
talented vocal soloists from Stage 3.
The program opened with more talented vocal
soloists, this time from Stage 2 performing The
Song. We were also entertained by the Staff Samba Percussion Group, Stage 3 Ukulele
performers, two drumming soloists, the School Choir performing a swing version of Humpty
Dumpty and the debut performance of the Combined Strings and Recorder Ensembles playing
Beethoven’s Ode to Joy.
Many parents, friends and families joined us for M.C.U.I. 2012 as well as the Kindergarten
students of 2013. Thank you for your support.
Associate Professor Deirdre Russell-Bowie from the Faculty
of Education, Creative Arts at U.W.S. was our guest speaker
for Music Count Us In 2012 and inspired us with her positive
words about music education, especially in primary schools.
We appreciate her support.
Congratulations Padstow Park P.S. staff and students on
your participation in Music: Count Us In 2012.
