The Music department have had ex-pupil Michael Forde undertaking the last practicum of his teacher training with Mr Menzies. Michael was a student at Verdon College from 2000 - 2004. He studied composite Music at Victoria University (2005 - 2008) receiving a 1st class honours degree. Michael is currently studying secondary teaching at Canterbury with a focus on Music, Drama and German. He was a member of NZ Secondary Student's Choir in 2003/4 and is a current member of NZ Youth Choir. We hope that Michael's term is productive and rewarding.
