Скачать или смотреть Lee Musumeci - The story behind "Don't Stop The Music!"

A story of leadership, empathy and a relentless desire to create opportunities for every child in our community.

This is the inspirational message from Lee Musumeci, principal of Challis Community Primary School in Western Australia as she delivers the keynote address at the Music EDnet DAYTiME 2019 conference in Perth.

Lee is a pioneering Principal with a reputation in Western Australia as a leader in education. In 2010 she was awarded WA Primary Principal of the year, followed by Australian Primary Principal of the Year in 2011. In 2015 she was named in the list of ‘100 Most Influential West Australians’ and in 2019 Lee was inducted into the WA Women's Hall of Fame on International Women's Day.

Lee is passionate about child development and the importance of building a strong foundation in the early years to improve outcomes for children, especially children from disadvantaged families. Lee has been leading the Challis school community since 2003 and more recently amalgamated Challis Early Childhood Education Centre with Challis Primary School.

The documentary "Don't Stop The Music!" aired on the ABC in late 2018 highlighted the journey of students, staff and families at Challis Community Primary School in building their music program ... a story that has inspired the nation and beyond and emphasises the very real value of music in education. But there is much more to this story and it is one of ongoing progress.

The Challis Story is one of positivity, optimism and strong leadership. Broad-based leadership that creates opportunities that inspire big thinking, opportunities that provide choice, opportunities that lead to a healthy life style and opportunities that create belief in a bigger, brighter future.
