Night of Song

Over160 students from Years K-12 performed in our Night of Song on Wednesday. We were thrilled to see the return of this beautiful annual choral concert as a live performance, as the last time we were able to hold this event was back in 2019. The Night of Song showcases all our choirs and chamber choirs as well as featuring several solo performances from students in Years 3-12.

We commend all the performers, conductors and accompanists for their hard work and enthusiasm. Special thanks to Mr Burley for organising the event and to everyone who worked behind-the-scenes to produce this wonderful evening.

The photographs of the concert were once again taken by Mr Ofer Levy who always does such a wonderful job of capturing these superb images of our performers.
