Year 7 Exhibition – Tuesday 19 September – Save the date

All Year 7 students have been composing pieces in their classes as part of their Music coursework. On Tuesday 19 September from 5.30pm – 6.30pm students will be presenting these compositions to the Shore community. This is a compulsory event for all of Year 7 and all community members are welcome to attend. The event will be in the War Memorial Hall and all Year 7 students are required from 4.30pm with their laptops charged. 

Thank you

On behalf of the Music Department, I would like to thank all the parents and carers for their support this term. There have been many Music events and these performances could not happen without the commitment of both staff and students attending rehearsals regularly at 7.15am and parents cajoling their sons. Rehearsals start in Term 4 in Week 1.  We wish you a wonderful break.
