Music Incursion

Students in Kindergarten to Yr 5 were fortunate to experience an exciting incursion last Thursday. Featuring our very own violin tutor Mrs Sywak, Jaga Band performed traditional folk songs on various Ukrainian instruments. Students were surprised to learn that the Cimbalom has 78 strings! The workshops provided a unique experience, exposing students to diverse musical traditions in a truly authentic way. We thank Ms Sywak and her band for visiting us and teaching us about Ukrainian Strings.

Senior Campus Music

Rock in the Quad

Today, students in our Rock Bands performed for their peers at Recess and Lunch, even despite some gloomy weather! Well done to our Years 7-12 Rock Bands for such energetic performances, capably mentored by Mr Montz, Mr Wooltorton and the Rock Band Tutors. 

Visits to the Junior Campus from our Senior Leaders! 

Over the last couple of weeks, our Captains and Section Leaders from Strings, Bands and Choirs have been visiting their Junior Counterparts! Well done to our Arts Captains Sholto Mirrlees-Black and Hallie Hunt as well as Music Captains Will Howard, Ahnu Guan, Jocelyn Wang and Tara Gold for leading this wonderful connection between the Junior and Secondary School. 

It was great for Yr 6s in these ensembles to see the leaders they will be interacting with next year! Have a look at our Arts and Choir Captains with Junior Choir below!
