What You Can Do
Join us!
If you are a parent interested in supporting music students at MLSHS come along to our meetings and hear what is happening during the school year - camps, concerts, tours, plus more. We encourage you to support your child and music staff.
It is important that you know that:

- We are informed and involved with Music at MLSHS
What are the Benefits?
- Subsidised music camps and tours
- Music students benefit directly from all fundraising events
- "Music extras" to improve the music learning environment
- Meet other parents
- Get to know and speak to staff
Meetings - To Inform, Seek Input, Give Approvals
