Welcome to our Music Matters page! 🎶

Here and on our portal page, you will find announcements about our busy Music program, so please check in regularly. Now is the time to get involved in our Years K-12 Music Competition. Anyone who sings or plays an instrument is eligible for the performance component. For anyone who composes music or writes songs, you can enter the composition component. All entrants get PS or HS House Points. Please see our separate article for more information. 

Week 3 was the first week of IP, the Years 3-6 Instrument Program, for the year. It has been wonderful seeing all the Primary musicians again. Good luck working out the weekly practice schedule and sticking with it until it becomes second nature.

The Extra-Curricular Music Program is now in full swing. At this link you will find the rehearsal schedule for all our ensembles and choirs. On the second tab of the spreadsheet, you will find ensemble descriptions and the level expected to join. All ensembles began rehearsing this week.

If you have been in a core ensemble or choir for Terms 1 and 2 and are in Years 4-12, you will be eligible for Music Camp (in Term 2, Monday 19 June – Thursday 22 June 2023, approximate cost $600) which is also a lot of fun.
