Music
Congratulations
- Annie Liebmann (Year 11) – Grade 2 Musicianship – A+
- Doris Li (Year 12) for gallantly singing the national anthem in front of the whole school at the Cross Country carnival on Monday. A big shout out to the Music team for putting on their sports gear and joining in the fun of running and walking the 2km track! It’s always great to see us showing respect for other subjects and supporting one another. The Music team’s participation in the Cross Country was actually the result of a deal I made with the Year 9s in 2024 while I was teaching them the song for Speech Day. They weren’t exactly thrilled about singing, so I struck a bargain; I’d join them for the Cross Country. Naturally, they held me to my word, and I had to keep my promise! So I asked my colleagues to get involved, and they showed me some real care and courage by taking part.
Private Music Lessons
The College offers private music lessons in an array of instruments and lessons occur on a rotating basis within school time. Preference is given to students in Year 12 to fit around their free periods. A reminder that all students who have lessons at the College must be in one of our ensembles. Singers can attend choir on Wednesday mornings and piano players are encouraged to join the choir. Playing in an ensemble is good for our neurotransmitters as we learn to work together with music being a common goal.
