AMEB Examinations 

AMEB Exams are a great way to encourage your child’s musical development by creating a tangible goal to work towards each year. Exams are also an excellent performance opportunity that recognises a students’ progression and achievement through structured grades.

Enrolments for AMEB exams are due by Friday 8 May. Please speak with your instrumental teacher to find out whether you need to enrol your child for an AMEB instrumental exam. Exams will be held onsite at School, with exact dates to be confirmed closer to the date. Central West NSW dates are expected to be held between 10 July and 9 August 2023.

Should you have any queries regarding AMEB examinations for your child, don’t hesitate to contact Sharon Martin, Music Administrator at performingarts@kws.nsw.edu.au or Katherine Howarth, Instrumental Music Coordinator at kahowarth@kws.nsw.edu.au
