Dear families,
We are delighted to share a link from ITV News, which features a special report on the fantastic work of Victoria School's Sing and Sign Choir. They're involved in a really important project on inclusive music for all, which is supported by Services for Education and Music for Youth.

The students speak so confidently about their experiences and why they really enjoy being part of such a special project. A HUGE thank you to the staff who have supported this and well done to the students who showed the very best of Victoria!
