Save the Date: Night of Instrumental Music:  Tuesday 6 November (6.00 pm)

Our instrumental ensembles have been working hard to prepare for the annual Night of Instrumental Music (NOIM) in Week 4 next term.  This wonderful concert showcases the skills of hundreds of young instrumentalists performing in a range of ensembles, from concert bands to string orchestras and small ensembles. Parents will be receiving a permission note early next term.

It is important that all members of participating ensembles perform in this event. Years K-2 students in the Infant Strings Program will be performing. NOIM is also a compulsory component of the Primary School Instrumental Program. All students from Years 3 to 6 will perform at the concert in their Year Group ensembles. Please encourage students to practise their parts at home to ensure the event is satisfying and enjoyable for them.  

All parents and friends are welcome to attend this free concert. Please note that siblings of performers are most welcome but should sit quietly with their parents and should not roam around during the performance.
