YEAR 7-9 NEWS

Year 7

The Year 7s began their high school journey with us on 31 January, when they started the day with a quick assembly, met their mentor groups, organised lockers and made new friends in their new classes. Here are a few photos from the first day of school:

Music

Start learning an instrument in 2023 

Would you like to learn an instrument?

Would you like to share the joy of creating music in a social setting?

Learning music can help students’ self-confidence, self-discipline and teamwork. Music helps students progress in other important learning areas such as Maths and English. Music Australia also notes that countries with a strong focus on music education tend to have higher scores in literacy and numeracy. Engaging music programs have been shown to help with attendance and can be particularly beneficial for students who are not achieving well in school.

"All of this evidence for music’s extrinsic benefits make a strong case for music education but should not overshadow the sheer joy people experience making music, nor the value of the artform itself” – Music Australia.

It’s not too late to join the Instrumental Music program in 2022. Please contact Mathew Bolton or Christina Bowden on 5277 1177.
