Instrumental music teachers visit our school on a weekly basis to give tuition to participating students in brass, woodwind, strings and percussion. Children are withdrawn from general classes for music lessons and are taught in small groups. Places are limited and highly sought after so members should commit to remaining in the program until the end of Year 6.
Strings Program
In Year 2, students are invited to apply to participate in the school Strings Program for Years 3 - 6.
Three string ensembles operate in our school. During their first year of lessons, children play in the Junior String Ensemble. Players then graduate to Intermediate String Ensemble and Senior String Ensembles.
Band Program
In Year 3, students are invited to apply to participate in the school Band Program for Years 4 - 6.
Two bands operate in our school. During their first year of tuition students join Junior Band. As players graduate and develop expertise they join Senior Band.
Various extension groups also operate, including drum line, marching band, combination and ensemble groups.
Performance Uniform
Performance uniforms are required for students in Years 3 – 6. As representatives of our school, it is important that students are correctly attired. Several options for performance uniform are acceptable:
- Unisex – new blue collared shirt, black long pants, black socks and shoes.
- Pre-existing blue button up collared shirt, black long pants, black socks and shoes.
- School uniform dress, white socks and black shoes.
