Director of Music P-12

Concerts and Community Events

Thank you to those students who helped launch our College year with musical contributions in Assemblies and Masses – starting from the very first period of the first day! Your dedication to, leadership of and service in your school is so commendable, and heralds a great year to come!

We are already buzzing about the vibrant concert season lining up in the calendar for 2026 – with major performances that are sure to challenge and inspire students and audiences alike! The first big date for you to pop in your family calendar is the annual College Gala Concert at the Sydney Town Hall on Tuesday 23 June 2026. This beloved annual concert tradition continues to go from strength to strength, and will again feature every student from Years 4-7 alongside all co-curricular ensembles in 2026.

Join a Music program or activity

New registrations are now open and it’s not too late to join an ensemble or enrol for private lessons in one of the many disciplines we offer!  Our program continues to grow, and it’s a joy to see more students discovering the confidence and connection that music brings. You can register via the College App or via this shortcut link.

Summer achievements

Over the summer break, many students continued their musical journeys; and it brings us great joy to know that the work we do during the school year is just a launch for what they can do in their own time! 

We were proud to host the SYO Summer Camp on our campus as always, and delighted to see Santa students participating in both SYO and the Gondwana Summer School. This dedication sets a powerful tone for the year ahead.

A special congratulations to Estelle Gilmovich and Ilia Kim, who achieved first and second place in the 2MBS Fine Music composition competition – an outstanding accomplishment. 

We also celebrate our recent AMEB Grade awardees – some of whom were presented with their certificates on Monday. The full list of AMEB achievements will feature in the Director’s Honour Roll at the end of term.

Looking Ahead

With growing music enrolments, exciting performance opportunities, and such wonderful community support, the year to come is rich with possibility. 

I look forward to seeing all that we will learn, create, and celebrate together in 2026.
