Music at the Junior Campus
All children are provided with performance opportunities and encouraged to strive for excellence. Year 2 students have the opportunity to learn the recorder for one semester as part of the Music Curriculum.
Students at Year 3 level take part in the School’s Strings program. This program allows all Year 3 students access to specialist instruction in violin, viola or cello, which were generously provided to the School by the Parents and Friends Association. These classes are held once a week and are also complemented by a weekly choral session as part of year level choir. The program culminates with a superb ensemble performance at the end of the year.
In Year 4 students are able to choose to continue with their stringed instrument or class choir, as well as classroom music.
Students at Year 5 level take part in the School’s Band program. This program provides all Year 5 students with specialist instruction in flute, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, saxophone or percussion. The classes are held once a week and are also complemented by a weekly choral session as part of year level choir. In Year 6 students are encouraged to continue with their instrument and join the Junior School Band.
Extension for talented students is provided through various Choral and Orchestral Ensembles.
