Casey Grammar - Monash Children’s Hospital Visit

9 February 2018

Yesterday a group of 14 ‘Matilda’ students ventured down to Monash Children’s Hospital to perform for the patients as part of their book week celebrations.

The students performed three songs in the foyer before heading up to the starlight lounge where they performed again on the Starlight Network, a television channel broadcast to the patients rooms. That meant those that were too unwell to join the celebrations in the foyer were able to witness the show.

It was an incredibly rewarding experience for students and staff alike and we hope that another opportunity presents itself down the track.

I acknowledge the sovereign ‘First Nations People of Country’, especially those of the Boonwurrung country, and recognise their ongoing and deep connection to the land, water and sky. I commit to protecting these as I live, work, play and travel across this vast nation. I pay my respects to First Nation peoples especially elders past, present and to all descendants of this nation who have cared for this place since creation. I thank them for their rich history, culture and indigenous ‘ways of knowing.’
