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!
