Across all year groups, students at the College have the opportunity to engage in individual, privately tutored instrumental lessons.
Our dedicated team of tutors provides instruction in a wide range of instruments, including Piano, Guitar, Drums, Strings, Woodwind, Brass, Percussion and Vocals throughout the week. The culmination of their hard work was the Young Performers' Evening held on Tuesday, November 18. This special event provided our tutored students with a valuable opportunity to perform for their parents and friends. It was a wonderful evening where students could showcase the skills they've developed throughout the year and enhance their public performance experience. The event also allowed parents to connect directly with the tutors.
Congratulations to every student who performed! The College community is incredibly proud of your commitment and musical talent.
The Junior Choir, comprised of enthusiastic students from Year 3 – 6, has grown to over 50 students this year. Rehearsing each Thursday afternoon, these students work hard to develop essential musical and life skills including rhythm and pitch, harmony, listening and teamwork, and performance confidence. The Choir recently delivered a moving performance for the Year 6 Graduation ceremony. They sang the National Anthem and the uplifting song ‘Glorious’, a piece centred on finding hope to those who might be lost. Sometimes you might feel aimless...but inside each of us is a purpose...that sings out like a symphony...it's Glorious! We wish all year 6 students the very best as they journey into the Senior College next year and we looking forward to the Junior Choir presenting some wonderful performances at the upcoming Celebration events.
The Junior Concert Band, made up of over 70 talented students from Years 4 -6, delivered an exciting surprise performance during recess this past hot Wednesday. The band entertained their peers in the refreshing cool of S Block. They treated the crowd to a lively set of popular show tunes and movie themes, bringing energy to the middle of the school day.
The biggest hit of the performance was their favourite theme song, "Ghostbusters," which included enthusiastic crowd participation!
We especially want to acknowledge our Year 6 band members. As they move into the Senior College next year, they will transition to the Intermediate Concert Band to continue their musical journey. We wish them all the best as they take this exciting next step!
Rehearsals for the upcoming College Musical, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, have been in full swing this term, and the buzz is palpable! Our talented cast including over 70 dedicated students has been working hard on all the Act 1 material, perfecting their Chorus, Dance and Acting roles. The commitment and energy in the rehearsal room have been fantastic!
Costume selections are well underway helping our characters take shape, and the staging vision is beautifully coming together. Over 70 students are involved in our upcoming Charlie and the Chocolate Factory musical and we are looking forward to the chorus debuting their learnt ensemble and vocal skills at the upcoming senior Celebrations. We are delighted that the Musical Chorus will debut some of their newly learned ensemble and vocal skills at the upcoming Senior Celebrations.
