One of our favourite incursions ever is Shaun Parker and Company's The Yard. It will be touring into Sydney schools in Term 1, 2021. It's brilliant from both an artistic standpoint and deals with issues of bullying in an authentic way, based on research in Sydney schools. The stories are set in the school yard. Told through dance/movement. It's outstanding.

Poor old Victorians, with 2 Melbourne teams in their beloved Grand Final in Brisbane. It's just another blow they've had to suffer. At least a Vic team will win for them. Image: The Gabba, Brisbane

For some reason we find this amusing.
We've had to listen to alot of "numbers" this year. We guess the day points out the usefulness of collecting and analysing statistics.
Here's a stat. This is only the second World Statistics Day. It started in 2010 and is every 5 years.

Mental Health - we can all aim for it. Thinking of the toll Covid has taken on our mental health here and grateful that physically, most people have been spared the disease.
The beauty of nature has been a boon to those who have some nearby. Imagine walking down this road. Not that we can, given it's an autumn picture taken in Russia....

In the light of aerosol spread of Covid, music teachers have to be especially careful with choir, singing and wind instrument lessons.

A big thankyou to teachers who are booking lots of events through us again. Even those beleaguered Victorian teachers have found the energy to book lots of our great virtual incursions.
A Victorian company was very proud to receive a VIRTUAL incursion booking for an NT school this week. A school they could never have reached with live performance. More of that, please!
It's fantastic that teachers are going to the effort of bookings events again in the light of the year we've had so far - and it's very appreciated by all our arts companies.
