Music in the Senior School (Curricular)

The Senior School music program has had an excellent start to the year, with students across all Year levels engaging in dynamic and practical learning experiences.

We are pleased to welcome Ms Alana Thorne, who has joined the department for Terms 1 and 2. With her extensive experience and passion for music education, Ms Thorne is a valuable addition to our team, and we are fortunate to have her on board.

Our Year 7 and 8 students have been actively involved in hands-on activities, focusing on developing their aural and creative skills. Through practical engagement, they are building a strong foundation in musical literacy, performance and composition.

Year 9 students are delving into the world of theatre music, exploring the relationship between music and drama. Their studies will deepen their understanding of how music enhances storytelling and emotion in theatrical settings.

Year 10 students are exploring music from a local context by performing, analysing and studying music composed by Australian composers. Through this exploration, our students will be challenged to think outside the box when it comes to composition and perform music that will be unfamiliar to them.

For our senior students in Years 11 and 12, the year is already in full swing as they rehearse for performance recitals and develop their major composition works. Their dedication and creativity are evident, and we are excited to see their progress unfold.

With such a promising start, 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year for music in the Senior School. We look forward to witnessing the growth and achievements of our talented students.
