On the last Wednesday of this term, 25 September, Monique from Roar Music will be running an instrument try out day for all students from years 1-5 who may be interested in learning an instrument next year and joining a band.

Our Kinder 2020 transition program will run over three consecutive Wednesday mornings throughout October and November. The sessions will commence at 9.15am and conclude at 10.45am.
