Ensembles Camp
Week 4 of this term witnessed the remarkable dedication and hard work of our talented students, who participated in the two-day Ensembles Camp on Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th of February. The Vocal Ensemble, Vocal Project, and Jazz Band members devoted a total of 15 hours to rehearsing and perfecting their performances, all in preparation for the esteemed Generations in Jazz competition later in Term 2.
Our students displayed an unwavering commitment to their craft, pushing their limits and making impressive strides in their respective disciplines. The Ensembles Camp provided a supportive environment for the young musicians to collaborate, learn from one another, and refine their skills. The progress made by each student in such a short time is a true testament to their dedication and passion for music.
The camp's success is not only a reflection of the students' hard work, but also a credit to the instrumental music tutors who generously offered their time and expertise. While we appreciate and acknowledge the staff's contribution, the spotlight remains firmly on our students and their incredible achievements.
During the camp, our young musicians formed stronger connections with their peers, creating a unified and cohesive atmosphere that will undoubtedly benefit them in the upcoming Generations in Jazz competition. The camaraderie and teamwork on display were truly inspiring, and we are confident that these qualities will shine through in their performances.
As we eagerly anticipate the students' showcase of talent at the Generations in Jazz competition, we can't help but feel immense pride in their accomplishments. The Ensembles Camp has demonstrated that hard work, dedication, and a passion for music are the keys to unlocking our students' potential.

Lear: A Shakespearean Tragedy.
Lear is a condensed version of William Shakespeare’s tragedy King Lear. The story is about an aging monarch who decides to divide his kingdom among his three daughters. However, his plan goes awry when his youngest daughter refuses to flatter him as her sisters did, leading to a chain of events that ultimately result in Lear's descent into madness and the deaths of several characters. Along the way, themes of power, betrayal, and family are explored, culminating in a tragic ending that leaves audiences with a sense of the futility of human ambition and the consequences of one's actions.
This show is recommended for Mature audiences as it includes portrayals of theatrical violence and themes that require a mature outlook.
