Book of Everything
Congratulations to our wonderful cast and crew on their outstanding performances of the Book of Everything. A special thank you to Mr Cunich on his brilliant direction and perfect casting of this show. It was an absolute treat to see our student’s performance with such energy and at such an incredibly high standard. Thank you to all for your many hours of hard work.
Encore at the Opera House
The Year 11 and 12 Elective Music classes recently attended Encore at the Opera House, showcasing outstanding high school performances from the 2023 HSC Music exams. Witnessing such exceptional performances not only provided inspiration but also demonstrated the potential attainable through dedicated practice and commitment. The camaraderie on the bus further enhanced the overall experience, fostering a sense of unity among the students who shared this musical journey.

Matilda Auditions
The Junior School recently embarked on a theatrical adventure as students in Years 3 to 6 experienced auditioning for a musical for the first time. We are currently conducting call back auditions and hope to finalise all lead roles by Friday afternoon. It’s rumoured the ensemble cast all may be “A little bit Naughty”.
Classroom Activity
Meanwhile, back in the classrooms, Year 8 students are currently engrossed in their guitar assessment pieces. Finn Halloran, a skilled Year 8 guitarist, has shared his expertise by demonstrating various techniques to most of the Year 8 classes. This hands-on approach by one of their peers not only enhances the learning experience but also inspires students to explore and express their musical talents. We hope to have some applications for private guitar lessons from Year 8 who would like to explore their musical growth.
Music Ensembles
It is never too late to join a musical ensemble at Oxley. If you are in Year 7 or new to the College, please talk to your Music teacher about all the options available to you. We are currently seeking students to join our College Choir. We meet at 7.45am in the Orchestra on a Wednesday morning. Please come along if you are interested.
Congratulations!
