The Music program is an engaging and collaborative experience for students from Prep-Grade 6 that supports key school values such as Creativity, Curiosity and Collaboration. The program uses elements of the Orff, Kodály and Musical Futures approaches to music education. Students explore the elements of music through:
We have an extensive range of instruments at the school including xylophones, ukuleles, keyboards, guitars, drums and various percussion instruments. Students are also exposed to music technology using programs such as Garageband and websites such as Chrome Music Lab.
Popular lunchtime clubs are also run throughout the year and include Junior Jam Club (P-2) and Open Mic Club (Grade 3/4).
As part of our Australian First Nations focus in Music, Grade 3 and 4 students learnt to sing and perform the song 'Taba Naba' from the Torres Strait Islands. Please click here to see a video of Grade 4B performing the song. With thanks to Jerome Cole for volunteering his time to film and edit. Extension programs are offered in the senior school for Grades 5 and 6 students include the Rock Band and Senior Vocal Ensemble. Performance opportunities include school assemblies, lunchtime concerts and Graduation.
