All instrumental music students are encouraged to participate in various instrumental music workshops offered throughout the year.
Choral programStudents have the opportunity to participate in the Junior Choir in years 3 and 4 or in the Senior Choir in years 5 and 6. The number of choirs depends on the level of interest each year. These groups rehearse weekly and enjoy their active involvement in both the school community and within the wider local community.
