Many thanks to Ms Lanneke Jones who harnessed the talents of the girls and put together this production. Ms Jones has worked tirelessly with her team of musicians that comprised of SCEGGS staff Miss Allison Harrigan and team of music tutors: Ms Jayne Groves, Mr Matt Moore and Mr Neal Sutherland.

Congratulations Cantare – RSCM (Royal School of Church Music)

On the evening of Tuesday October 24 our co-curricular primary choir, Cantare, participated in this year’s Royal School of Church Music’s Junior Choral Festival. This festival was held at St Andrew’s Cathedral where our choristers sang with more than 200 choristers from other schools.  This was a valuable opportunity to sing challenging sacred music in the wonderful acoustic of the cathedral accompanied by the mighty pipe organ.  The SCEGGS’ choristers enjoyed rehearsing with guest conductor Mr Lachlan Massey, sharing a pizza dinner with new friends from schools including Kambala, Kings, Arden and St Andrews Cathedral School and performing for parents and friends attending the service.
