Musicnet Summary to 16 Dec 2018 : Virtual Learning Network

Kia ora tātou

This is the last week of work for many of you on the list. Be it Primary and Intermediate teacher's finishing in a few days, Secondary teachers doing the last bit of rooming/timetabling juggling for 2019, Itinerants trying to lock down hours and schools for next year or anyone else doing that last bit of planning before Christmas.

I do hope you all take a break to recharge, see some live music, play some live music and enjoy time with friends and family.

Just a reminder that at the end of this week, Friday the 21st Dec, the Musicnet list will be taken off-line until the 28th of Jan. The archives will also be taken down as the server is upgraded. This means that you won’t be able to post any messages.
