This is the second year BridgeClimb Sydney has been a supporter of Music: Count Us In from 134 metres above the harbour. The day was an incredible opportunity to promote Australia's biggest school initiative, which aims to draw attention to the importance of music education in Australian schools.
Also accompanying the students on the climb was Sefa Laga'aia, son of program mentor Jay Laga'aia. Sefa contributed vocals to the official recording of 2016 song 'Let It Play'.
