Music in the Senior School (Curriculum)
Celebrating growth and achievement
A huge congratulations to our Year 12 Music 1 student, Amedea Khoury, who completed her HSC performance last week. We wish our HSC Music 2 students all the best as they showcase their talents and years of hard work in their final performances this week. Our Year 12 IB Music students have also reached a milestone, having submitted their Exploring Music in Context portfolios. This marks the completion of the first major component of their final assessment, with three more to follow very shortly. As they conclude their secondary music journey, we thank our Year 12 students for their contributions to the musical life of the school and wish them every success in their future endeavours.
Year 11 Music students have just completed their preliminary written and performance exams. With these behind them, they are now preparing to step confidently into their final year of study.
Our Stage 5 elective classes continue to thrive through a dynamic blend of practical and theoretical learning, supported by creative new lesson ideas introduced by Mr Guo, our pre-service music teacher who is with us until the end of this term. Year 10 students are exploring the world of music for games and television, examining how it shapes audience experience and reflects contemporary cultural trends. Our Year 9s are exploring music from the Classical era, learning about musical forms such as Theme and Variations and The Sonata Form, discovering how these structures influence the music we listen to today.
In Stage 4, our students are busy finalising their assessments, with Year 8 wrapping up their originally composed film compositions, showcasing their creativity and understanding of mood and atmosphere in music. Year 7 are preparing presentations on Music of a Culture, exploring unique instrumentation, rhythms and musical traditions from around the world.
