CROWN CONCERT

One of the many great functions of my role is to attend the annual Western Australian Government School Crown Concert. The current and past students from MHPS shone throughout the evening with their solo and collective performances. The night was one of the many opportunities our students have to showcase their talents and it also demonstrates to the wider community the quality of the music program at our school. My thanks go out to Mrs Hardman, Mrs Carter and Mrs Mears for their continued efforts in supporting this exemplary program.
