Lessons
We continue to process the expressions of interest for instrument lessons, and will notify music tutors of interest in the respective instruments. Music tutors then contact families on their list, to try to identify a mutually suitable day and time for lessons. Families will then liaise directly with the tutor for music and for lesson invoicing, etc., whilst upholding our music program terms and agreements.
Students who are not able to be placed, will be listed on a waiting list. We will notify families in Term 2 as to whether their child is on a waiting list, so that you may have further information and determine if you wish to wait for an opportunity in before/after school lessons, or if you prefer to seek a lesson externally. The interest in lessons does exceed our tutor capacity, and we appreciate your patience and understanding with the process. We also will continue working on recruitment of additional quality music tutors.
Thank you for your support of the music program.

Amelia earned Third Place in the Eisteddfod category of Music Composition Solos - Music Composition Years K-6. Congratulations, Amelia. We are excited to see your musicianship continue to develop and flourish.
