SPRING CONCERT 

The Spring Concert, held on Monday November 27th, was a wonderful celebration of the year’s achievements for all our ensembles. The Choir, Guitar Ensemble, Percussion Ensemble, Year 9 Band, Year 7 Concert Band and Stage Band all gave fabulous performances, and I thank our Instrumental Team of David Gill, Annie Stone, Leigh Collins, Jeremy Schiftan and Harper Dawson for preparing our students so well.  

PRIMARY SCHOOL VISITS 

The Choir and Year 7 Concert Band have been busy the past few weeks visiting local primary schools. On November 23rd we visited Brandon Park Primary School, where we performed for the entire school, and then traveled to Jells Park Primary, where we performed for the Grades 3 and 4 students. On November 30th we performed to the Grade 4 and 5’s and Wheelers Hill Primary School. This was a fantastic opportunity for our students to build on their performance skills, and helps us build relationships with our neighbouring schools.
