Junior School Performing Arts Stars
From sing-a-longs to seasonal celebrations, throughout the year and across the Year Groups, as part of the curriculum or through CCAs, there are ample opportunities for Junior School students to perform and shine.
These performances, featuring a wide range of musical styles and instruments, allow students to showcase their talents, dedication and progress. Their musical growth is evidence of the supportive and enthusiastic community that nurtures their creativity.
It’s fun playing your instruments with friends, and it’s a great feeling to perform together in a big concert.
