As we move towards Christmas and the New Year, we would normally have a series of live performance where students share their outstanding musical skills with the community. Due to the current situation regarding Covid-19, these live events have not taken place this year but our students, and the Music Department, have been working hard behind the scenes to rehearse, perform record and share a series of performances for their fellow students, parents, carers and the community to enjoy.
A new selection of performances to celebrate the New Year – enjoy!
