From January 2015 all year 7's will be learning the soprano UKULELE.  You are required to purchase your own instrument as well as its strings.  The school has made a Mahalo ukulele available at an educational discounted price.  This is available through https://www.parentpay.com. Please contact Miss van Jaarsveld if you have any queries regarding the purchase or upkeep of your Ukulele.

Once you have your UKULELE you should spend a couple of weeks tuning and retuning your instrument to ensure your strings are ready for the first lesson after Christmas.
