Music News @ HCC

Welcome back to our final term for the year and it is already shaping up to be a very busy time. Please check the following performance dates and ask your child/ren if they are involved in any of these performances.   Rehearsals have started again this week in preparation for the Arts week and Spring Concert. 

Students are reminded to check Compass for their lesson times as well as rehearsals for the ensembles they participate in.  Thank you for your dedication and commitment to the music program at HCC and I look forward to seeing family and friends at our concerts this term.

Term 4 Instrumental Lessons 

Of course, it is not too late to enrol in music lessons for the remainder of the year.  This is a great opportunity for your child to have a go on learning an instrument for a few weeks to see if they like it or not.  Enrolment forms are available at the College office.

Absent from instrumental lessons

Just a quick reminder for parents, if your child is absent from school due to illness, you need to contact Mrs Sim or Mrs Richards prior to 8:15am in the morning. Otherwise, you will be charged for the lesson.  If your child is absent for an appointment or a school event, 48 hours notice is needed so that the music timetable can be adjusted.  Catch up lessons cannot be guaranteed if inadequate notification is given. Please see the Instrumental Music Lesson Policy for further details on this.
