Woodwind Ensemble Performance at Box Hill Library

Last week, our Woodwind Ensemble performed at the Box Hill Library as part of their Christmas entertainment. The library patrons (with a few parents mixed in) enjoyed listening to the group, who have been working hard to put a program of Christmas songs and other music together for this occasion. Congratulations to all the performers.

Return of Instruments

Students who are hiring school musical instruments should have returned them to the Music department immediately after the Orientation Day performances on Tuesday 10 December. 

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 Christmas present!
