Junior School Music News

We are delighted to invite parents from Years 3 to 6 to attend a series of open rehearsals. This is a special opportunity for you to gain insight into the behind-the-scenes workings of our rehearsal room and to witness the dedication your daughter brings to her performances. 

Your presence during these rehearsals is highly valued as it not only provides you with a deeper understanding of the artistic process but also demonstrates your support for your daughter’s musical endeavours. We believe that by experiencing the collaborative environment and witnessing the creative journey firsthand, you will gain a newfound appreciation for the hard work and commitment that goes into each performance. 

To maintain the integrity of our rehearsal space and to respect the privacy of all involved, we kindly request that no video recording or photography be undertaken during the rehearsals. 

Please find below the schedule for the open rehearsals. For the morning rehearsals, parents and family members are welcome to attend from the time they drop their daughter off for rehearsals. For all the afternoon rehearsals, parents and family members are welcome to attend for the last 30 minutes of the rehearsal.
