Music News – Week 5 Update
The Junior School Music Department has been a hive of activity with our staff working busily to ensure the Music Morning Concerts, JS Soiree, AMEB exams and Junior School Eisteddfod are a success. Last week’s Music Morning Concert was a wonderful exhibit of our budding musicians. We are now looking forward to the Junior School Soirée this Thursday evening, as well as our Junior School Music Eisteddfod on Thursday, 28 August and our Music Morning Concert on Friday, 29 August.
