Junior School Performing Arts Concert

This is an 'all-in' concert where every student in Year 1 to 6 performs with their stage choir. It is also the first performance opportunity for Kindergarten as well as our co-curricular ensembles including Junior Concert Band, Junior String Orchestra, Koristers, Junior Dance, along with solo items and a speech and drama item. The students are very excited to be finally performing live for an audience and look forward to sharing their hard work. 

Trybooking details will be emailed out to families on Wednesday 19 May.

Musica Viva Live Music Performance 

On May 28 we will be lucky enough to host a live concert by musicians from the group ‘Mara’ for all our K-6 students. In the 'Music in my Suitcase' program the Mara band share songs from many different cultures that they learnt abroad and right here in Australia. They use music as the common language because it is fun and it helps us to understand and connect with others, which can change our lives. Students will engage in listening to and participating in a range of songs from around the world, broadening their awareness and appreciation of the rich culture of music from Australia and beyond. This will be a fantastic event for all our Junior School students. 

Assembly Performances

Junior Drum Corps made their debut performance last week with a fabulous performance of ‘Boom Boom’ written by the ensemble’s director Mrs Cassandra Key. Despite having only been formed this year, they demonstrated commendable focus to give a very well-polished performance. Please enjoy their performance below. Congratulations to all involved.
