Term 4

We hope you had a restful break during the holidays after all the heard work of preparing for Gala Concert last term.

You may have seen some changes to your Compass timetables involving your instrumental ensembles. This is because we are transitioning to the 2023 Ensembles during Term 4.  

As the Year 12s finish their final days of school, we change all students over into next year's ensembles so we can get a head start on preparations for the next year, as well as allowing students involved in Awards Night performances to prepare. 

Please check your Compass timetable carefully and attend all scheduled ensemble rehearsals. 

If you believe there is an error or have an issue with ensembles please contact me ASAP. 

Year 12 students - this is a very busy time and we support you to focus on preparing for your upcoming assessments.  You are not required to participate in ensembles for the remaining weeks of school. Instrumental music lessons will continue for you during this time and if you would like to attend ensembles at any stage during this time, or perform during Awards Night, you are more than welcome - please contact your ensemble leader directly.

Piano Key Fundraiser raised $4200*!

Thank you to everyone who purchased a piano key in this unique fundraiser.  Your support has enabled us to purchase a brand new Baby Grand Piano for our Performing Arts community.

Everyone who purchased a piano key will be commemorated on an acknowledgement plaque that will hang in the Theatre Foyer and also receive an actual piano key as a memento of their lasting support.  This will will be distributed during Term 4.
