End of Year eNewsletter

Dear Parents and girls,
In the year you turn 40, what could be better than presenting 19 Annual Concerts across six cities over five weekends? Presenting 20 concerts over five weekends, with one of them being in Singapore! By December 1, we’ll have done this and thoroughly celebrated the successful opening of the Australian International Girls Choir. The concert season is such a joy filled culmination to the year and we hope that all of our girls and audiences had a wonderful time.
A few reminders to finish your year with us and prepare for 2025:
- Final and first classes - This week is the final week of classes and the first classes for 2025 will be held from February 8.
- Concert DVD - We are always impressed by the standard of performance at the Annual Concerts and hope you were too. Professional footage is available for purchase from Commercial Video Productions through this link (the password is AGC24).
- 2025 re-enrolment - Re-enrolment information was sent to all families earlier this week.
- Our charity partnership with Girls from Oz is growing and we’re very proud of the work we’ve been doing together with First Nations peoples for 16 years. Please do take five minutes to watch this short piece about our Travel Programs – Song to Sing and if you feel inclined to provide some support for this work then you can do so when you re-enrol your daughter (tax deductible receipts will be sent). Who better to encourage girls in remote Australia to be thoroughly engaged in their education than you? It’s people who believe in the life-enhancing benefits of performing arts education who clearly see the value of the work g-oz does. We appreciate any donation you might make as you join hundreds of supporters in the ASPA community in supporting Girls from Oz.
- Summer Showtime - enrolments for our January holiday program are now open.
The other aspect to the end of the year that fills us with happiness is having senior girls performing carols at events that range from local community gatherings through to the very popular televised shows - Carols in the Domain and Carols by Candlelight. It’s an important aspect of the AGC that our younger girls have the opportunity to look up to their ‘big sisters’ who represent us so beautifully at public events.
We thank you for choosing to be part of this vibrant organisation in this, our 40th anniversary year, and we’ll look forward to welcoming all of our enthusiastic girls back in 2025!
