CHS Music Clothing Distribution
As we head into the final week of the school year we now have permission to distribute music clothing to those who ordered. The timing for pickup is Wednesday (23 Jun) from 9AM to 12PM. We will have a table at the emergency exit of the library...just off the main drive-thru in front of the school (close to the outdoor steps that lead to the bus stops on Canterbury Avenue - see attached photo). If you are unable to come at that time we will distribute all remaining clothing in September. |

QUAD 4 Music Dept Update
Dear Parents and Students
Welcome to quad 4!
Here is what is happening with regards to the music courses while we are in “at home” mode.
As we did in quad 2, we are continuing to incorporate both performance and theory/history elements to the music courses which means there will be team teaching for the classes. The performance portion of the class will be taught by the respective discipline teacher (Caswell = Vocals, Mah = Strings, Sinkus/Robinson = Winds). However, each class has been assigned a “lead” teacher for the purpose of the report cards. See below for teacher assignment.
Gr 11 Classes
AMC3MK-01 - Lead teacher = Mr Sinkus
This class will include the winds students and half of the vocal students
AMC3MK-02 - Lead teacher = Ms. Robinson
This class will include the strings students and half of the vocal students
Gr 10 Classes
AMC2OK Winds - Lead teacher = Ms Robinson
AMC2OK Strings - Lead teacher = Mr Sinkus
AMC2OK Vocals - Lead teacher = Mr Caswell
Daily Online Music Schedule
9:10 - Google meet for Gr 11 Performance class
10:10 - Google meet for Gr 11 Theory/History class
11:30 - Google meet for Gr 10 Performance class
12:30 - Google meet for Gr 10 Theory/History class
