Heart Beat Performance

On Monday 1st September Heart Beat gave a demonstration to the school.  Heart Beat is a program that has been running in the school for the past 5 years.  Our senior drumming students work with adults who had suffered some form of brain injury.  The students are partnered with an adult and assist their participation in the various rhythm exercises they are taught.  Each program runs for 5-6 weeks for one hour each week. At the conclusion of the program the group gives a demonstration or performance of what they have learnt throughout the program. The students involved in the Heart Beat program are to be commended for their commitment, compassion, and responsibility.  It is an innovative program for our school to be a part of, and teaches our students that they can positively contribute to their community and have a lasting impact of other people's lives. Here are a few photos of the performance.
