Music: Count Us In (MCUI) is internationally-recognised as the world’s largest school music initiative. It offers students music participation and skill development, delivers much-needed resources and training to teachers, accesses and supports regional and remote locations and special needs areas, and provides a whole school engagement activity.
The program culminates in the National Celebration Day when more than half a million students sing the same song, on the same day, at the same time – the annual Program Song. It is a song written by students, for students. The 2019 Program Song is called ‘We Are’ and will involve over 745,000 students from more than 3,400 schools all around Australia celebrating the value of music education.
Our Hillcrest students in Years 3 – 6 will be joined by teachers and our SLC choirs in the performance of this song on Thursday, 7 November from 10am in the MPH. Our students have started rehearsing and are looking forward to sharing a message of “Why Music Matters” with the whole College community. Parents are welcome to come along to this special event.
