Students are encouraged to take the opportunities offered to develop their talents and explore their interests in a wide variety of cultural activities. Many of these require a commitment to seeing things through to a conclusion, whether it is for a performance, presentation or display or just for the satisfaction of the student. We are keen for students to take the plunge and try something new.

Orchestra invited to perform at Sydney Opera House
Our school orchestra is taking part in the Australian International Music Festival in July. This is going to be a fantastic week for students. They will perform a programme of music at the Sydney Opera House and take part in an open air concert at Darling Harbour. The girls are very excited about their visit to Australia and are working incredibly hard at the moment, with several practices a week.
Planning for the trip has been underway for several months and lots of fund raising activities have taken place to help with costs. On the 20th June we are holiding a fund raising concert at school. It would be great if you could come along and support the trip. Tickets cost $5 all of which will go towards the trip.
