Junior School Instrumental Program

A very important component of the Junior School Music program is our Instrumental Program. All students in Years 2 – 6 are given the opportunity to learn an orchestral instrument in a classroom setting, guided by our dedicated team of teachers. In week 10 and 11 all students in Years 2 – 6 presented their hard work in this program for parents and carers. 

Years 2, 3 and 4 and impressed our audience with their demonstration of their skills on string instrument demonstrating pizzicato, bowing, technique and careful listening as they presented a series of pieces including Manhattan Blues, Hokey Cokey and Twinkle Twinkle.

Year 5 and 6 put on an impressive display on a selection of instruments including Saxophone, Clarinet, Brass, Strings, Flute and Orchestral Percussion. Our audience was treated to some familiar melodies, as well as some fabulous displays of technique and note reading.

Thank you to our wonderful tutors who support our students in their learning in this program, and to our parents and carers for their continued support.

The Book of Everything and A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Congratulations to all cast and crew on your spectacular performances this term. The depth of talent at Oxley is impressive and it is wonderful to see our Drama students thriving with these performance opportunities. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our two wonderful directors Mr Cunich and Ms Pascoe for their dedication and creative vision.

Matilda

Matilda rehearsals are in full swing, and our leads are working hard on their repertoire with Mr Lindsay. Further rehearsals for the full cast and Matilda ensemble will commence next term on Tuesday afternoons. More details to follow. This an exciting production that will appeal to all age groups and we hope you will come along to the performances in Term 3.

Senior Musical 2025

Many of our students are waiting in anticipation for the announcement of our 2025 Senior School Musical. We hope to announce the musical in early term 2 with auditions planned for the second half of the term. We encourage all students to consider auditioning and participating in this exciting College event.
