Cancellation of music lessons

A reminder to all families that we require two weeks’ notice before the end of term to cancel lessons (Friday 7 June). Any cancellations after this date will attract a full term’s worth of fees.

Congratulations to the following boys who have been successfully nominated for the State Honours Ensemble program:

  • Paul Clarke
  • Finbarr Condren
  • Samuel Dutton
  • Jack Gardiner
  • Aidan Johns
  • Yang Zhang

This event, run by Griffith University Queensland Conservatorium of Music from 3-6 October, brings together the finest school-aged musicians from across the state to rehearse and perform under the leadership of internationally recognised conductors.

Norman Clarke Concert

Last Sunday, the Norman Clarke concert was held in the Hanrahan Theatre at Villanova College. This was a free public concert, which showcased the College’s premier ensembles, with the Year 5 Band and Strings joining us this year for the first time as featured performers. The students played to a full house and received an enthusiastic reception. Our thanks to all the Music staff involved on the day, the Terrace Performing Art committee and of course, our benefactor, Mr Norman Clarke.

Parent Lounge

A crucial component in managing performances and sending out information is the Parent Lounge. I ask that families please respond to requests in Parent Lounge promptly. This provides us with rolls and information so as to best manage equipment, personnel and transport.

Music Practice Hall

For those students who are working towards AMEB exams, a reminder that Music Practice Hall on Monday afternoons 3.15-5pm is an excellent opportunity to work on your pieces and receive assistance with the aural component of the exam.
