THE appeal of the inaugural Richard Gill School is continuing to grow in Muswellbrook.And, principal Chris English's just as keen to speak with families about the educational facility.
So much so, he'll be setting up Pop-Up Information Booths over the coming weeks to answer questions and take expressions of interest for enrolment in 2021.
They will appear at Muswellbrook Marketplace in the next fortnight - near the top of the escalator; on Thursday, March 5, from 3pm to 6pm; Saturday, March 7, from 9am to noon; and Friday, March 13, from 10am to 1pm.

"There's no need to make an appointment, just 'pop in to the pop-up'," Mr English said.
"I'm very eager to get out into our community and speak with families about the Richard Gill School.
"I know there are a lot of vital questions being asked and I want to be able to answer them face -to-face with the families of our prospective students for 2021.
"Choosing a school for your child is a hugely important decision to make as a parent or carer.
"So, I want to be able to give my community as much information and support in that decision as possible.
"And, it's also nice to be able to meet your child's principal early on, so this is a great opportunity to do that, too."
The Richard Gill School is a comprehensive, secular, independent primary school with a musical focus, tailored around the educational philosophy of the late Richard Gill AO.
With music and physical education as cornerstones of the curriculum, the school will provide a first-of-its-kind opportunity for regional students to engage in a unique education where creativity plays a central role in all key learning areas, including English and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) with a specialised teacher.
By registering an interest, parents will be kept up to date with matters relating to the school including construction works, curriculum development, school registration, community forums and formal enrolments periods.
