Christmas Carols

Bring your picnic rugs and join us outdoors on Thursday 27 November for our annual Christmas Carols, a joyful celebration of Jesus’ birth and the hope He brings. Students from Year 2 to Year 12 will share a range of musical items as we gather as a community to sing, reflect and enjoy the festive season together. A sausage sizzle fundraiser will be running from 6:00pm, so come early, enjoy dinner on the grass and settle in before the carols begin at 7:00pm.

As the evening unfolds, families can help light up the night with glowing wristbands and candles available for purchase, creating a warm and celebratory atmosphere. We look forward to seeing our school community come together to celebrate Christmas, lift our voices and focus on the true meaning of the season—Jesus.

Studio Concert

Tuition students from across the College will present their work at a Studio Concert on Monday evening at 5:00pm. This will be a wonderful opportunity for families to hear the progress students have made throughout the year.

Join an Ensemble in 2026 – Sign-ups Now Open

As we look ahead to 2026, we encourage all families to consider enrolling their children in one of our school ensembles. Whether your child is just beginning their musical journey or has already spent years learning an instrument, being part of an ensemble is one of the most rewarding and valuable experiences they can have at school.

Playing and continuing to learn an instrument offers significant benefits—building confidence, strengthening memory and coordination, and developing discipline through regular practise. Ensemble involvement also fosters teamwork, commitment and a sense of belonging as students work together toward shared musical goals. Students grow not just as musicians, but as learners, leaders and friends. We would love to see even more students involved next year and look forward to welcoming new and returning members into our vibrant ensemble program for 2026.

Please keep an eye out for an email from Mr Miller with full details on how to register. You may also use our current sign up form here.

Year 3 Instrument Selection – Excitement for 2026

On Thursday, our Year 3 students had the exciting opportunity to explore and select their instruments for next year’s Instrumental Program. The Music rooms were filled with curiosity, laughter and plenty of joyful noise as students tried out a range of options and discovered what they might enjoy playing in 2026.

We are thrilled to see their enthusiasm as they look forward to a year of learning, music-making and fun on their chosen instruments. A huge thank you goes to our wonderful tutors, whose guidance and encouragement helped each student experience the different instruments and make a confident choice. It’s shaping up to be an inspiring year ahead!
