Junior Campus Ensemble Attendance and Punctuality
Morning and Lunchtime Sessions
With the Junior Music Festival fast approaching, students are reminded about the importance of regular attendance to all Music Ensemble rehearsals, in reaching a high standard of performance excellence. Parents are asked to please ensure students arrive to rehearsals on time with their instruments and all other required resources. Absence due to camp and/or illness will be the only accepted reason for non-attendance. It is essential that parents contact juniormusic@redlands.nsw.edu.au if their child is unable to attend any rehearsals.
Junior School Curriculum Music
In Music classes this term, students will analyse and perform repertoire based on our STEAM Theme (Science Technology Engineering Arts Mathematics). It will be an action-packed term as students’ study units of inquiry such as ‘the sounds engines make’ and ‘patterns around us.’
