MUSIC CAPTAINS 2020

It is with great pleasure that we welcome Kezzia Chan and Giselle Karaan to  be our music captains in 2020. Kezzia has been a dedicated member of all of our bands over her five years at Killester and Giselle is an integral part of our vocal program having completed VCE Music Performance in 2019 on voice. Both girls have demonstrated a great commitment to the music department and will be excellent role models for our younger students. They will also be a part of the exciting transition to our new building!!
