Performing Arts staff are super proud of students in this year’s Music 2 and Music Extension classes, who have worked with diligence and maturity to develop both excellent technical skills and beautiful musicality on their respective instruments.  Congratulations to Isabel Wong (violin) and Anabelle van Wyk (alto saxophone) who have been nominated for inclusion in Encore, NESA’s showcase of exemplary HSC performances.

We would like to acknowledge the wonderful teaching of these students’ instrumental teachers and also their fabulous accompanists.

Strings Concert: Celebrating Our String Ensembles

At the end of last term, we had the pleasure of celebrating the achievements of our talented string ensembles, showcasing performances from our youngest musicians all the way through to our most experienced players. It was a true joy to witness the musical growth of our students as they progress through the ensembles—developing their skills in listening, following a conductor, and interpreting music with increasing confidence and artistry.

From the early stages of ensemble playing to the advanced repertoire tackled by our chamber groups, each performance reflected the dedication and musical maturity of our students. A particularly heartfelt moment was Mrs Moxey’s farewell to our Year 12 string players—some of whom have been learning with her since Year 1! Chamber Strings final performances were a fitting tribute to years of commitment, growth, and shared musical journey.

A huge thank you to the wonderful team of string tutors and ensemble directors for their ongoing support and inspiration. We look forward to more beautiful music and continued excellence in 2025 and beyond!
