Cycle 6 Assessments

Over the next few weeks, Instrumental Music students will be undertaking Cycle 6 assessments. These are the most formal assessments for the year, taking the form of a ‘mini exam’. Wherever possible, students will perform in front of two music teachers. Students will generally present two class works as well as selected technical work.

Leading up to these assessments, we appreciate your support in encouraging a bit of extra practice where necessary.

Orientation Day Performances

Orientation Day for the 2024 Year 7 cohort is Tuesday 12 December. Students from this year’s Beginner (Performance) Band, Concert Band, Da Capo Strings and Sempre Strings have been asked if they can be available to perform during periods 3-4 on this day if they are not otherwise participating in the Activities Week excursion. 

Please let your ensemble directors and/or Mr Williams know as soon as possible if you can play on the day, and if you might be interested in doing a short demo piece on your instrument.
