The Free School of Music Origlio is pleased to be able to present itself to the school community. From October he will start his activity which will be aimed at children, teenagers and adults. It is made up of a group of teachers – graduated in various musical instruments – who joined with the idea of ​​enriching the musical life of our school, sharing musical experiences and giving individual and group lessons. Normally the lessons will take place in the classrooms of our school. The particularity of this project is manifested in the closeness to the pedagogical ideas of Rudolf Steiner and in the close collaboration with the masters of the classes of our students. We support the projects of the school (performances, essays, etc.) helping students with the preparation of the pieces. At the center of attention is the individual and his contact with music, so that it is joyful, stimulating and suitable for the age. Registration is open The first lesson (trial lesson) is free.

15.03.2020 Dear parents, teachers, friends, some positions were clarified over the weekend and new restrictive measures were issued by the federal and cantonal authorities. In the Lugano-Origlio school we will continue to follow the directives of the Council of State, doing our utmost to offer the services provided. CLOSING The school will be closed for all order and grade classes from Monday 16 March 2020, for the time being until Saturday 4 April 2020. We hope that this date will be kept, eventually we will update you if there were any extensions. SECRETARIAT We will try to guarantee a minimum secretarial service to carry out the administrative part, in the presence or by transmitting calls and emails to our contact details. Some cleaning shifts will be maintained. The school buildings remain accessible to teachers who must be able to be found and who can use classrooms, libraries and computers, keeping the necessary precautions. CUSTODY The directives issued at the time ask us to guarantee, during school hours, a custody service for parents with real and essential work needs. Custody can manage pupils from kindergarten to ninth class. We kindly ask parents who absolutely need custody for their children to contact the school directly today, Sunday 15 March, or at least Monday morning before 11.00, via the address [email protected] indicating days, schedules and motivating your request. The custody will be active as per Tuesday 17 March 2020 in the usual school hours and the canteen will be guaranteed for members and support staff. HOLIDAY OF SAN GIUSEPPE The San Giuseppe holiday, with the total closure of shops from 19th to 22nd March, is not yet confirmed by official press releases. In this case also the custody would be suspended. We will be able to give you more information by Tuesday. ORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS ‘MEETING Assemblies with more than 30 people are prohibited in the latest directives. This being the case, and considering the statute that does not allow for power of attorney or vote by post, the meeting of 20 March must be postponed. Below are the links to the guidelines for completeness of information (in Italian). We hope that with the arrival of spring the emergency will be reduced quickly, and we wish all of us to be able to reopen and start our normal activities with serenity as soon as possible.
