Return of Instruments

Students who are hiring school musical instruments need to return them to their teacher after completing their Cycle 6 assessment. All instruments need to be checked over by music staff for maintenance and stocktaking.

It may be possible to borrow an instrument for the school holidays, but this is on a case-by-case basis after the return and assessment of the instrument.

Students are strongly encouraged to purchase their own instrument after their first year of learning, as preference for school hire instruments goes to new Year 7 students. Perhaps consider a new instrument as a present!

Music Information Night 2023 – Monday 13 February

We’re excited to announce the date of Music Information Night, where new students and their parents can come to learn about the Instrumental Music Program, the instruments available to learn and even try out the instruments. You’ll also hear some of our ensembles performing and meet the teachers.

Music Information Night starts at 7pm in the Performing Arts Centre on Monday 13 February.

Places are limited on some instruments and preference will be given to students who sign up on this date.
