Choir Camp
Unfortunately, Choir Camp was postponed. We will communicate updates as soon as we are able.

A reminder to Concert Group students that the next concert will be on Tuesday 23 August. Mr Dorich and Ms Wentzel will be in attendance.
Years 7/8 Choir
A new choral ensemble at Shore, the Years 7/ 8 Choir is starting this term. This ensemble is open to all boys in Years 7 and 8 and will meet weekly during lunch on Tuesdays – no musical experience or auditions are required. This group will be a perfect opportunity for students who are interested in singing all styles of music to come together and learn to sing with their peers. The ensemble will perform at year group assemblies and the end-of-year Twilight Concerts.
- New choral ensemble: Years 7 and 8 Choir.
- No musical experience or auditions required.
- Weekly rehearsals: Tuesdays at lunch.
- Members can join Chapel Choir which meets Tuesday mornings 7:15 to 8:15am, but this is not a prerequisite.
If you have any questions or would like to join, please contact Director of Choirs via email at ewels@shore.nsw.edu.au
