We’ve had a great Term in the Music Program. Music is great for students’ wellbeing and it’s been an amazing coming together in a celebration of music and connectedness amongst students.
Music Clubs
Karaoke continues to be held each Wednesday at lunchtime in the Music room and has been well attended every week.
The Open Mic will return in Term 4 with better weather, for those wanting to give it a go.
The Rock Band also began in Term 3, with Ashley Ward.
Concert Band
The Clonard Concert Band are performing at the Geelong Show on October 14th with Allister Cox, conducting.
