Week 8 has been a busy week (again) in the Music Department. We have had eisteddfods, exams, and excursions to nursing homes, which are in addition to our preparations for the Term 2 Secondary School Ensemble Concert and end of term assessments.

Every child is worthy of congratulations in our eyes, but I would like to make mention of the girls below. Their tutors sent through these AMEB exam results, and I am very proud of the girls.

  • Adele Cassidy (Year 8): Grade 5 – A
  • Mia Davies (Year 10): Grade 6 – A

Eisteddfods Congratulations to the Hindson Chamber Strings and the Senior Chamber Strings, directed by Mrs Colbey. This magnificent group of string players received a Highly Commended in the City of Sydney Eisteddfod yesterday. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend this event, but the calibre of string player must be beyond exceptional if our girls are getting Highly Commended. This is a wonderful testament to Mrs Colbey and her passion for all things strings. Well done girls.

Ensemble concert – Tuesday 24 June at 6.30pm All girls must attend their sound checks. The music building will be closed until 5.00pm unless girls are required for sound checks to ensure we have enough seats on stage. Girls are encouraged to go to any co-curricular event they have planned.

Please ensure performance uniforms are worn with BLACK socks, red ribbons and clean shoes.
