Head of Performing Arts & Instrumental Music - Mrs Carolyn Hernandez
Music Information Night
On Thursday 6th November at 7pm there is an information evening for families interested in involving their students in the Music Program.
As well as providing details regarding learning an instrument and ensemble and musical participation, there will be performances from one of the College Rock Bands, and the Symphonic Band will present their final performance for the year.
Families are invited to register to assist in the event planning here.
11 Wonderful Concerts!
Last week around 160 students participated in concerts that featured some of the students who learn an instrument or voice at the College. There were students for whom this was their first concert experience, and a strong contingent of Year 12 students who although having officially finished their schooling, came back to perform their final performance.
Many of the students are soon to sit their AMEB Exams – and indeed there were string and voice examinations help over the weekend.
Many thanks to the audience of family and friends who supported their students, and to the College’s extraordinary instrumental and vocal teachers.
