Our school music program has begun with weekly music lessons for classes in Stage 1-3 conducted by local musicians. In addition to this we have two performance groups for year 4-6 with students having the opportunity to be part of the school band or percussion group.
The school has engaged local musicians Candy McVeity, David Hewitt and Garry Jones to provide guidance for students and staff. Class lessons occur for 45 minutes each week for 5 weeks of the term with children learning percussion, ukulele and singing.
Our school band features students playing guitars, keyboards, drums and wind instruments and will be performing at the Sapphire Coast Learning Community Festival of Performing Arts in term 3. They are performing the Australian classic "We come from the land down under".
Our African drumming group will also be performing early next term and will provide high quality African rhythms and is a great introduction to music.
For further information about these programs please contact our music coordinator Mr Peter Bennett.
