NL02 Tour Hosting

AGC Tour Hosting

October 3 - 7

 

We look forward to welcoming our sisters from the Australian Girls Choir (AGC) International Touring Choir to Singapore in October. 56 of our most senior and talented performers from Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney are coming to Singapore after touring in Italy and Switzerland. Most of these young women (aged 14 – 18 years) have been members of the choir since they were five or six years of age and they are outstanding role models.

 

We are looking for IGC families who might be able to assist us by hosting two girls for the four nights they're in Singapore from October 3 - 7. We were so grateful to our families who hosted AGC girls last year; it was incredibly special to hear of new friendships formed with their big sisters from Australia and to see the AGC and IGC choristers sing together.

 

The AGC girls are extremely polite and easy to get along with, they will only require a bed and a few meals as part of their homestay with your family. The AGC has toured internationally 25 times and we always receive outstanding feedback from host families; it is common for the host girls to remain in contact with their visiting choir members and friendships remain strong over the years. Mentoring and role modelling is a key part of how we run the AGC and the big girl/little girl relationships are very special.

 

Please contact us if you would be interested in hosting, by emailing info@ispa.com.sg.
