    Parents/caregivers are not required to stay whilst the test is completed. The results of these tests in no way impact upon the enrolment of your son to the College. All information gathered from these tests is confidential and will be used solely for the planning of the College’s support resources.

    Music Placement Session

    This session is an opportunity for our music staff to meet your son, ascertain the co-curricular ensembles he is suited to and provide you with a personalised music rehearsal schedule for 2022. This is not an audition; the College will have an appropriate ensemble for every ability. Please bring music to perform from his current ensemble or music book. Students’ instruments are to be left at the rear of the scholastic testing room.

    After your son has completed the Scholastic Test, music students are to meet in Duhig Place. Parents are invited to attend and must adhere to the government’s social distancing requirements at the time. A sausage sizzle will be provided for all boys on the day, and we ask that your son has a phone to call you, or has your number so we may call you upon completion. All students will be supervised by staff and our engagement squad of senior students who will be on hand to play handball with your sons until they are collected.

    Music staff will be available in Duhig Place to answer questions regarding Terrace Music.
