The school is fortunate to have an exceptional choir program led by an experienced classroom teacher, Ms Charlotte Connor. Both the Senior and Junior Choirs perform at a variety of school functions and events throughout the year.
Our Choirs perform annually at the Opera House and Sydney Town Hall as part of the Arts Unit's Festival of Choral Music and Primary Proms, and have also been given the honour of performing solos at such venues.
The choirs rehearse weekly during school hours: Senior Choir 2:35 - 3:15 Mondays, and Junior Choir 2:35 - 3:15 Tuesdays. There is no fee to join the choir, however parents are asked to contribute towards costs for participation in regional events such as Festival of Choral Music and Primary Proms.
