Music is a strand of The Arts Curriculum. Classroom Music has a valuable role in our students' learning. Students from P-6 have one lesson each week with the Classroom Music Specialist, who provides them with opportunities to demonstrate core-learning skills and understandings from The Arts Curriculum. The music program is based on hands on learning and provides many opportunities to experience music and develop their natural talents.
Students also have access to the following music opportunities:
Instrumental Music - Woodwind, Brass, Percussion (Years 4-6)
Strings Program - Violin, Cello (Years 3-6)
Junior and Senior Choir
All music groups have the opportunity to perform at various events throughout the year including school functions and competitions.
