Eisteddfod

Our Annual SCEGGS Eisteddfod will be held this term with heats during Week 7 and two Highlights concerts at the end of Week 8.

Entries have now closed – no late entries can be accepted.

Practice-a-thon

Earn stickers and a certificate for completing goals during the Practice-a-thon!

This is a great way to prepare for the SCEGGS Eisteddfod.

Practice record sheets are available from tutors.

Try to follow the ‘tip of the week’ when you practise!

This week’s tip is “SLOWLY DOES IT”! Practise very slowly, progress very fast. The brain needs slow learning in order to create strong connections.

Encore Concert

The language of music is common to all generations and nations; it is understood by everybody, since it is understood with the heart

~Gioacchino Rossini

SCEGGS Music students and staff were treated to a wonderful showcase of outstanding performances and compositions by students from schools across NSW from the 2024 HSC Music examinations at the Sydney Opera House this week. A wonderfully eclectic mix of music was on show- with instrumentalists, vocalists across all styles of music – giving insight and inspiration to the  very appreciative audience.

Theory Club – Primary

The Primary school is introducing a new opportunity for anyone keen to get ahead with their understanding of music.

Pop into a theory help desk on Friday lunch from 1.00-1.20pm in the 5R classroom.

Mr Massey, Mrs Cleworth and Mrs Sweeney will be there to help you.

To register your daughter’s interest, please email Lachlan Massey.
