Year 4 Band Concert
Our very talented Year 4 students blew us away at the end of term concert where they show us what they had learned over the course of this term with their band tutors. There were performances from clarinets, flutes, bassoon, oboe, trumpets, trombones and percussion. The progress the students made was excellent and we are very excited to see that some students have elected to continue with individual tuition.
Upstage – workshops
On the last day of Term 1, our students enjoyed a series of high-energy acting, singing and dancing workshops from three expert artists from UpStage Theatre. Students and teachers, thoroughly embraced and enjoyed the experience and it was particularly useful for our Stage 3 students, many of whom have been auditioning for Grunch The Musical. Enjoy some of the pictures from our Stage 3 students in action.
Stage 3 Musical
Auditions are now underway. Please ensure that students regularly check the HUB for more information. Cast list will be published in Week 3.
