Events Calendar
We have an extremely busy calendar in Term 3. Please regularly check parent slips and keep the dates at the bottom of this page in your diaries. There are a number of workshops, excursions and major music nights happening. It’s very exciting to be able to offer so many performance and workshop activities to our students to develop and grow their craft.
Academic Assembly
The Combined Saints Colleges Wind Ensemble performed for the College Academic Assembly last Thursday. They performed Propulsion by Robert Buckley to a very appreciative audience.
During the Academic Assembly, we presented the Spirit of Arts Awards. The following students were presented with awards for their service to the department:
Gold: Mathew Christensen, Year 12
Silver: Lucas De Roma, Year 12
Bronze: Paul Hitchings, Year 8, William Imhoff, Year 9, Daniel McGuire, Year 12
Students can apply for a Spirit of Arts Award at any time. Please see the arts staff to get an application and information booklet.
