Congratulations to the piano and brass students who participated in Australian Music Examination Board exams across the day on Saturday and Sunday. There is another day of piano exams this weekend, ANZCA Music Examinations will follow soon.
We wish all students well as they prepare for this important opportunity to showcase their developing skills, demonstrate their progress and receive valuable, authentic feedback on their learning.
Congratulations to Senior School band, EJPJ and the Symphonic Band who demonstrated their musical skill at the Music Information Night last week. The 120 attendees were families new to the College in 2027, or those who wanted to discover more about the College Music program.
After an introductory session, students and teachers were available to discuss instrumental/vocal choices. It was a positive night as the wide choices available were discussed.










The Year 10 and 11 Drama classes impressed families with their performances at last week’s performance assessment. Students benefitted from the experience and discipline of performing text by William Shakespeare.
Now is an ideal time to register for lessons in 2027. Lessons are offered on - acoustic guitar, cello, clarinet, double bass, drumkit, electric bass, electric guitar, euphonium, flute, french horn, piano, saxophone, trumpet, tuba, viola, violin and voice. Theory lessons are also available.
There are also two special offerings for string lessons using the Suzuki method for Year 1 and 2 and a Wind Package for Year 7s. Information can be accessed below,
