Christmas Vocal Concert

The Christmas Vocal Concert on December 3rd showcased our vocalists.

Music chair donations

With the opening of the new Performing Arts building in 2019, we are busily working on ordering furnishings and fittings for it. The Friends of Performing Arts have successfully fundraised over the past years for professional music chairs, called the Nota chair by Wenger. We currently have enough money to purchase 35 of these chairs, thanks to the generous support of the community.

If you are interested in donating funds to purchase more chairs (we need approximately 60), please contact the school on 9488 2300 to complete a credit card purchase form. Each chair costs $249. A plaque on the back of the chair will be dedicated to families who donate to purchase a complete chair.
