Yr 6 Transition to Yr 7

Senior Campus Studio Concerts
Over 450 private lessons take place each week at Redlands, facilitated by our team of 29 specialist Music Tutors. Our lunchtime Studio concert series has seen hundreds of parents and friends popping by during lunch to support students as they ‘show and tell’ what they’ve achieved this year in an informal and safe setting.
Please see below schedule for our remaining Studio Concerts. Parents and guests visiting the Secondary Campus for these concerts are asked to go directly to the John Roberts Centre from the Gerard St Gate, and to sign in and out at Music Reception. Our Music Tutors will be in touch with the parents/carers of all students performing at these concerts to invite them to attend.
