School Band
Our school has a Training Band, a Concert Band (intermediate band), and a Senior Wind Ensemble. The bands play at a high level and have the opportunity to entertain the school at assembly performances and represent the school at music festivals and other events.
Students are eligible to join the band from Year 3 and up. Students who join the school bands are required to attend weekly private tuition, as well as commit to rehearsals (once per week for Training Band and Concert Band and twice-weekly for the Senior Wind Ensemble.)
Participation in our school bands is an extra-curricular activity run by an external company, Teaching Services Australia.
For enrolment enquiries, please contact info@teachingservices.com.au.
