Year 5 Choir at the Sydney NorthWest Music Festival 

Our Year 5 Choir ventured to The Concourse this week to perform in the combined schools choir for the Sydney NorthWest Music Festival - Pinaroo Concert. We are honoured to be involved in the state festivals presented by the Department of Education Arts Unit. 

Thank you to the families for supporting the choristers. We extend our appreciation to the choir directors, Mrs Hanks-Ruttyn and Mrs Rosales, for guiding the choir throughout the year. A special thank you to Mrs Rosales and Mr Matthews for bringing the choir to the festival!

Ryde Eisteddfod 2026

Congratulations to our ensembles who performed at the Ryde Eisteddfod 2026 this week. The events were tightly adjudicated, and our student musicians gained valuable experience performing on stage in a competition setting. We also benefitted from seeing other student groups perform. 

Thank you to our directors for their inspiring work with the ensembles. Our great appreciation to the parents and carers for supporting instrument lessons and ensemble practice.
