Music

Thank you to the wonderful students from Junior School Choir, Capella, Year 8 Elective Music and the Stage Band who performed at the Mothers’ Day morning tea last Friday. The weather was superb, and the girls provided a suitable accompaniment to the joy that our mothers provide to our girls.

Tonight, the College String Quartet will provide a wonderful backdrop of music for the Alumni Event at KPMG in the Barangaroo. Thanks to Mr Rossman for preparing Annie Luo, Claire Lee, Charlotte Wykes and Sitian Chen for this event.
