Purchase Your Tickets For the 2025 Grand Piano Appeal Raffle!
For nearly half a century, our Performance Theatre grand piano has been part of many students' memories, a quiet partner in rehearsals, assessments, and performances that shaped your time at school. Now, at age 40, its final chord is near.
In 2025, we are inviting our community to help us fund the purchase of a new grand piano. This new instrument will support the next generation of performers from Kindergarten to Year 12, continuing the proud musical tradition you helped build.
By contributing to the Grand Piano Appeal 2025, you’re not just donating an instrument, you’re investing in the next 50 years of music at Kinross Wolaroi School. Your support will ensure that students have the tools to develop their talents, find their voice, and experience the same musical magic that touched your own school days.
