Instrumental music students may also participate in bands and ensembles. At the end of the year, students have the opportunity to perform for the school community at the Spring Music Concert.

Choir

From Year 2, all students participate in year-level choirs with one lesson per week to practice as a group. Students with a passion for singing also have the opportunity to audition for one of our specialty choirs. 

Both year-level and specialty choirs showcase their talents at the annual Spring Music Concert.
