Choir News
We are excited to be moving back into our usual space in I Block to do choir in the air conditioning, made possible with the very recent lifting of social distancing restrictions.
Our annual choir ensemble camp commences at the end of this month, we look forward to a long weekend up at the Genazzano Retreat Centre honing our craft for future performances and competitions.
Any new students who are interested in participating in lessons or our ensembles, please either collect an enrolment form from Student Reception or email grogina@cns.catholic.edu.au for more information.
