Term 1 was alive with the energy and nostalgia of Grease, as our music ensembles immersed themselves in the iconic songs of the much-loved 1970s musical. Over 6–7 weeks, students worked diligently in their weekly rehearsals to learn and refine one or two pieces, bringing to life some of the show’s most memorable hits.

A highlight of the term was the Music Camp Day held at school on March 30. This intensive rehearsal experience gave students the opportunity to work with guest conductors and collaborate with peers from other ensembles. Not only did this day accelerate musical progress, it also fostered new friendships and strengthened our vibrant music community.

All of this hard work culminated in a spectacular performance at the Mercedes Hogan Theatre, where a sold-out audience of families, friends, and staff were treated to an evening of outstanding entertainment. Guided by our student leaders as MCs, the audience journeyed through the story of Danny and Sandy, while also reflecting on the enduring theme of friendship.

Every ensemble delivered a polished and enthusiastic performance, showcasing the commitment and talent of our students. A special congratulations to our Year 7 students, who took to the stage for their very first performance and did so with confidence and flair.

We are incredibly proud of all involved in making this event such a success and thank our staff, guest conductors, and families for their continued support of the music program.
