Best wishes to the 13 String students across both Primary and Secondary who are sitting their examinations on Monday 21 October. We are most grateful to our Music Specialist Tutors and Accompanists for the incredible work they do in preparing our young musicians with great precision.
Secondary Music Dinner
Music has a remarkable ability to bring people together and create lasting memories. This was evident on Friday night, when our musicians and their families joined together to celebrate the year so far and the wonderful memories shared together.
Our Masquerade themed evening included heartfelt speeches, delicious food and lots of dancing! The laughter, animated conversations and interactions between year levels was a testament to the friendships and good times shared by our musicians in 2024. Please enjoy some photos from the night.
Music at Enrolment Tours
We extend our gratitude to the Primary and Secondary string players for their contribution of background music during our Open Day Tours, enhancing the atmosphere as families gather and await the commencement of events.
