Community Heart Beat

The School’s Music department gives students the opportunity to explore and nurture their music abilities. School bands represent the School at events and bring joy to these communities.

Our Music department has a huge impact on our school experience, in ways we never imagined when we started playing music.

It is amazing to see students from Years 6 to 12 coming together with a common interest. Music camp is the perfect way to start the year. It involves lots of fun like team games and a Slip ‘N Slide, playing music, and mentoring younger students. Being surrounded by the music produced by the variety of ensembles and bands over camp days, all students have the opportunity to see where their music can take them.

Students start in the Intermediate Concert Band and are then encouraged to join other ensembles as their skills grow. There are many benefits for being involved in ensembles and bands. Having the opportunity to perform regularly helped us both achieve our AMEB Gold Awards. Involvement can also assist students participating in the Duke of Edinburgh Award program.

As Music Captains this year, we want to continue to create a fun environment where students can come together to play music and enjoy the company of the music family. This year is sure to be very exciting with a Music Tour to Katanning, the annual Music Gala Concert, and many other performances to look forward to.
