Friday, 12 September: Cranbrook Voices performance at Year 12 Farewell Assembly.

Congratulations to the Cranbrook Voices for their sensitive performance of You Raise Me Up at the Year 12 Farewell Assembly. There were many tears of joy from the Year 12 families, Dr Johnstone and Mrs Marquet! What a privilege to impart this gift to our class of 2025.

WEEK 9:
Student Led Conferences have been exceptional, with students from Kindergarten to Year 5 sharing their love of learning in Music. I was suitably impressed with the joy and skill that they demonstrated to our visiting parents, relatives and friends.

Each term I am always amazed at the quality and quantity of achievements in Music. I wish you all a restful holiday break and thank you for your support in all things music, after what has been an extremely busy and fulfilling term.

Best wishes,

Peter Fox
Head of Music, Junior School
