Trivia Night

I hope to see many of our families at our upcoming Trivia Night on Saturday 4 May.  This event is run every two years by the Parents of Performing Arts committee to raise money for our program, enabling us to buy new instruments and equipment.  So it will be great to see parents and friends come out for a great night to support us.  For all the details and to book a table or buy tickets, please follow this Trybooking link:

Music Camp

We're excited to invite all our Instrumental Music Students from Years 7-12, to the 2024 Music Camp!  All Ensembles and Choirs will attend one camp together, at 'CYC Forest Edge', Neerim East. 

 

Music Camp provides an opportunity for all students within our ensembles to participate in intense rehearsals, workshops, team building exercises and performances where they will further develop their skills in musicianship, teamwork, and leadership. Though running costs for camps have significantly increased, Music Camp remains a highly subsidised event to ensure that all students can participate.  

 

Please note that  full payment is due by Thu 23 May as we need to confirm numbers and dietary requirements with the venue.  Please consent and arrange payment through Compass - payment plan available. 

 

A packing list is included on the resource page of the event.
