LETTERS Last night my wife and I attended the May Concert No 2. A superb evening of first class music, special thanks to the Music Department staff. We are now in our second year of coming to youl Concerts as our granddaughter (Lauren l/Iount) is in Year 9. Great musicianship by all with a special well done to the percussion gloup that was featured in two of the pieces. We ale always implessed by the courteous and flne young ladies at youl school. They are always heipful and smiling. Kind regards This is just a quick note to compliment the behaviour of one of your students on a clowded bus this morning' My guess is you would usually only get complaints, and I would iike to balance the ledger' She was polite, confident and charming' This was particuiarly lovely to see as an old girl, a future parent and friend of a number of existing parents' ffii Thank you so much for another great art walk!
