Term 2

Unite4Kids Event Adelaide Oval

We are thrilled to have been invited again to perform at the annual Unite4Kids fundraising luncheon, taking place at the Adelaide Oval on Wednesday 3 June at 12.00pm.

The Senior Drum Corps will be performing at this significant and meaningful event and we are confident the audience will enjoy a memorable performance from our students.

Students will travel to and from the venue by public transport (tram). They will depart school at approximately 11.00am and will return around 1.00pm. Parent consent and a letter will be emailed home to parents of the performing students in coming weeks.

Year 9 Camps and AMPed Program

Year 9 students are expected to attend their co-curricular rehearsals during AMPed, so that work can continue to be completed. When students are away on camp, they of course cannot attend rehearsals and are excused.

Winter Music Cabaret (Friday 12 June) & Winter Music Festival (Saturday 13 June)

We are very excited to be planning our Winter Music Cabaret and Festival in Week 8, Term 2.

This year, we are thrilled to be offering a Cabaret on Friday 12 June in Wyatt Hall at 6.00pm. This performance will feature: Stage Band 1, Stage Band 2, JOTT 1, JOTT 2 and the Small Jazz Ensemble, as these groups unfortunately missed the cancelled Term 1 Cabaret. We are hoping to have food and beverages available on the evening. More details to come.

On Saturday 13 June, our three Winter Concerts are as follows:

3.00pm – Choral Concert
Featuring: Junior Kurrajong Choir, Junior Year 3/4 Concert Choir, Junior Year 5/6 Concert Choir, Grammarphones Choir, Senior Concert Choir, and (to be confirmed) Man Choir.
