Our sincere thanks to Susie for the wonderful work she has done with the students and you can see how the groups have progressed over the last few years. She is a very talented musician herself and we are very lucky to have her in the parish to pass on her skills to our children. Learning any kind of music is a gift that will never go to waste and can only enhance a child's education. Well done to teacher and students.
