"I've loved that the school has been able to offer a music program. It has given my child an opportunity to play an instrument that she wouldn't have done otherwise. The fact that it is during school hours has meant I don't have to juggle work and after school commitments. It's a great addition to the school.” — a parent of Howlong Public School
