Carols on the Green (Christmas Concert)

Congratulations to all involved in the Christmas Concert held on the 26th of October. Despite a last-minute move to the Draney Theatre the evening proved to be a great success with the boys, parents and wider community joining together to celebrate an early Christmas. Special thanks must also go to students and staff from Mt St Michael’s College who joined us in rehearsals and performance. We are looking forward to presenting this concert again in 2024.
