So Long Farewell Concert

This concert will take place in the Anne Boyd Thatrette and will begin at 7.30pm. The concert will only be about an hour long so it will be a great chance for family and friends to come along and hear their daughters/friends perform for the last time and to thank them for their commitment to music at Killester over the past six years.  Our year 12 students are Mikayla Lowther, Angel Chau, Joanna Guelas, Vivien Nguyen, Casey Li, Sarah Lui, Maya Micallef, Sruthi Ponnarasu and Anita Bun.  There is no cost or bookings for this concert. The ensembles performing are: Concert Band, Honk, Senior Vocal Group, Heartstrings and Stage Band plus Maya's Rock Band.

Music Exams

Just a reminder to parents that all the music students can sit AMEB exams or we can hold internal exams here at Killester as well. Please inquire with Mr. Hickey or your daughter's instrumental teacher if you would like this to occur.  Congratulations to Teagan Dao in year 8 who achieved an A for her Grade 2 piano AMEB exam this month and Yechelle Fernando in year 9 who achieved an A+ for her Grade 3 Trombone Killester exam. Both girls have been working very hard, not only on their solo performances but also in the ensembles at Killester. 

Student Teacher

We welcome Ms. Chloe McKay from Deakin University to Killester for her final teaching rounds before she graduates as a teacher at the end of the year. Chloe has been taking classes from years 7-12 and has already proved herself to be a very competent and enthusiastic teacher. She will be with us until the end of the term.
