BOOKING TO USE MUSIC ROOMS AT LUNCHTIME: Due to an increase in demand there is a new system for students wishing to use a Music Room or Studio at lunchtime. Students can no longer turn up at the Performing Arts Office door and request a room on the day. You must book at least ONE DAY IN ADVANCE. Ms Rawle, Ms Waters, or Ms Bates will write your name on the sign-up sheet. Only the students whose names are on the sign-up sheet will be allowed in the room.
HSC MUSIC 2 AND EXTENSION PERFORMANCE EXAMINATIONS: Best wishes to Lachlan Chue, Hunter Clarke, Phillip Cullen and Liaam Rao for their HSC Music Performance Examinations next Tuesday, 11th September.
