Music documentary to be filmed at Woy Woy school
Woy Woy Public School had announced that a documentary will be filmed at the school this term by local filmmaker Ms Kaye Harrison.
"Her documentary will focus on the power of music to build community and to benefit the wellbeing of young people," said principal Mr Dan Betts.
"Students whose parents have previously indicated that they do not want their children to appear in media releases will not appear in any scenes of the documentary unless parents contact the school to advise us otherwise.
"The note also gave other parents the opportunity to opt-out of filming on behalf of their children.
"Please contact the school if you have any further questions about the documentary."
Mr Betts said all classes from Years K to 6 were now having music lessons.
"The feedback from students and teachers alike was that the lessons were highly engaging and thoroughly enjoyable.
"We anticipate the program will deliver academic benefits for our students, as well as social and emotional well-being benefits.
"We expect to see positive outcomes for behaviour, learning and mental health from the program.
"We feel extremely fortunate to have been given the opportunity to work with the Australian Children's Music Foundation, who have provided the funding for the program."
