Year 12 HSC Music
Congratulations to the Year 12 Music 1, 2 and Extension students who performed at their Showcase on Friday 5 September. The calibre of the talent these students possess never ceases to astound us. Every student enjoyed performing to their parents and friends, as well as staff members. Thank you, girls, for performing, and we all wish you luck in your HSC performances this week. At the time of reading this, all the students will have completed their performance exams.
Pizzicato Strings
Mrs Colbey, Mrs Purvis and Ms Buckley prepared the Pizzicato String students for a performance at Fridays’ assembly last week. The students all performed by memory, which is a fabulous achievement. They all looked professional, with perfect posture and their intonation was spot on. Each student seemed to enjoy the performance with huge smiles on their faces, and having Mrs Colbey at the helm only increased their joy.
