Australian School Band and Orchestra Festival
Several SCEGGS ensembles have been enrolled to perform in the Australian School Band and Orchestra Festival (ASBOF) this year. The Festival is a non-competitive event and rather than being ranked, all ensembles received a Gold, Silver or Bronze rating which reflects their level of achievement for the particular event level in which they have performed. All events are adjudicated by professional musicians and music educators. ASBOF is a wonderful opportunity for our SCEGGS ensembles to perform on stage, to hear ensembles from other schools and receive inspirational advice and performance tips from the adjudicators.

30 Years of SCEGGS – Hope Concert 2025
In 2025, SCEGGS will celebrate 130 years. The Music Department has the privilege of creating a concert to celebrate this milestone.
The concert will be held in the Sydney Town Hall on Monday 23 June 2025 and the theme for the concert is ‘Hope’.
Hope involves optimistic thinking and focusing on good things to come. We will collect and commission works that reflect the theme of hope.
But we want you to be involved. We want to know what it is you – the students, staff, parents, and old girls of SCEGGS – are hoping for.
Some examples might include equality, reconciliation, better care of the environment, and peace. Your responses will be shared with composers, and commissioned works will be created that reflect the things that the SCEGGS community is hoping for. You have 140 characters to let us know what it is you are hoping for. Go!
