Music Photos
Photos of all College Music ensembles will take place on Friday, 20 March, in the Thomas More Exhibition Centre. Secondary students are required to wear black Music Performance Uniforms for the day. Students new to the College can purchase the Music Uniforms, which consists of an outerwear jacket and black trousers, from the Uniform Shop. Returning students are asked to ensure they try on uniforms before the day, to ensure the correct sizes. Students are also required to wear black socks with College shoes and a black undershirt (t-shirt or singlet). Students wearing navy College trousers or socks will be omitted from photos.
Primary students are asked to wear their College uniforms, socks and black shoes – not sports uniforms.
Please see below for a schedule of photos for the day. Secondary students are advised to set a reminder on their College devices; Primary students will be collected from class.
