Friends of Music
Friends of Music
Canberra Girls Grammar School (CGGS) Friends of Music (FOM) is a small group of parents, students, alumni, guardians and friends, interested in supporting the work of the Music Academy through fund-raising for discretionary acquisitions. Fundraising takes many forms from operating the canteen, cooking sausage sizzles and providing bake sales at Music Academy Events which are held throughout the busy music calendar each year. The Friends of Music have raised considerable funds over the past few years. They have sponsored the Double Reed program (Oboe and Bassoon), Lower Brass and Beginner Instrument Programs, and purchased various specialist instruments. The Friends provide two Endeavour in Music awards annually, to a Junior and Senior School student. The group generally meets 4–6 times each year to plan its support for the Music Academy events. FOM welcomes both Junior and Senior School parents and offers flexible commitment options —from committee members, to regular volunteers at events, to members who supply us with much appreciated baked goods to sell. We encourage anyone with some spare time, and a desire to help our community, to come and join our merry band! We look forward to building a vibrant Music Community at CGGS with you.
If you are interested in assisting with CGGS Friends of Music activities, please contact FOM secretary,Jane Crawford (Secretary) or Sue Borgo (Convenor) at music@cggs.act.edu.au.
