Community Choir
Do you like singing with others?
If you are 8 - 18 years you could join JVOV (a Christian choir) for a small fee each term. If you are under 8 you could participate free when supervised by your caregiver. If you are over 18 you could participate as a volunteer. We have one adult volunteer per ten children as JVOV members also enjoy a variety of wholesome activities within the community. Practises are on Tuesdays 4 pm at WEA 100 Esk Street.
JVOV's Christmas pageant 2017 was sweet. Perhaps you might like to try JVOV this term as we prepare for Easter pageant.

Caroline Bartle, Ryman’s Dementia Care and Innovations Lead, says that using appropriate language when referring to people with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia can foster a more inclusive society.
