Music Update 

Interesting music fact:  Children who take music lessons show different brain development and improved memory over the course of a year, compared to children who do not receive musical training. 

 

Royal Australian Navy Band Excursion

Students and staff had a brilliant day out to the HMAS Cerberus base where they got to watch the Royal Australian Navy Band perform and also participate in workshops. The Junior, Intermediate and Senior Band students all participated in performance based workshops and the VCE students participated in a workshop to develop their performance skill. It was wonderful to see a live performance again and it really inspired and encouraged our students. A huge thank you goes to Mr Parsons for organising it for everyone!
