Instrumental Concerts
Congratulations to the music students who performed at 8 concerts last week.
The students demonstrated their learning, whether they were “beginners” or had been learning for many years.
Thank you to families for your support, and to the team of instrumental staff who make it possible.
School Alive!
The Junior String ensemble performed beautifully for the visitors to the College last week. Performing their favourite – Chicken Noodle Soup, they showed off their excellence in learning and collaboration. Thank you to their conductor, Mrs Prue Jury
Seussical Kids
This week is Seussical Kids week. We wish all the performers well. There will be a full report in next week’s Whispers.
Best of British
The College has a strong Rock Band program facilitated by guitar and drum teacher, Mr Greg Stone.
Tonight some of our bands will represent the College at the regional rock band event, “The Best of British School Bands Extravaganza”.
They will doubtlessly represent us well.
VCE Drama: Changing Times, Changing Minds…Change the World
The VCE class has written small ensemble performances that they will present to visiting VCE examiners tomorrow (Friday 29th May) at 6:30pm in the M18 Blackbox Theatre. We wish them the very best for their performances. Family and friends are very welcome to attend.
Vocal Concert
Next Wednesday (3rd June) the students taking singing lessons in Years 5 to 12 will perform at a vocal concert. Please note that the venue is the Multipurpose Room at Canowindra. The students are sounding wonderful as they prepare for the event.
