On Tuesday 23 August, Year 10 and 11 music classes ran the suites and songs event.

Each class put on a concert where students could showcase their musical talents.

Below are some of their reflections from the night:

I really enjoyed…

performing my composition in a band. Alyssa M

when my dad came up with me, along with other parents and their kids and we all listened to them improvise. Magdalena C

the class performances and helping to set up beforehand, it was enjoyable because I got to spend time with my peers and problem-solve with them. Eliza P

I learnt that…

it is really fun to perform as a class, and it makes me happy to know we all enjoy playing together. Jazlyn P

even when we make mistakes in performances, we can still put on a good show. Matt P

I don't really get nervous in performances like that anymore. Despina L

I will always remember…

making my granddad play the xylophone. Alyssa M

trying to teach my Mum how to play a 12-bar blues. Matt P

the smile my mother gave me when I was singing. Jazlyn P

Tiana and Alyssa’s compositions being played (very cool). Despina L

I would like to thank…

Tim, Benji, Stratos, Lucas and Mrs Hobbins for accompanying our compositions. Matt P

Mrs Ford for sitting with me while I performed. Isabella B

Mrs Ford, for putting this together, giving us feedback, supporting us and helping us to develop musically. I would also like to thank the families who had to hear the same pieces over and over again. And I would like to thank God who thought it perfect in His plan to learn and perform those pieces and for giving us the support and love we needed. Joy O

Magdalena for being my page-turner and unknowingly comforting me during my performance. Eliza P
