The MUSIC PROJECT - It Is an extra-curricular opportunity for students at our school who are passionate about playing and/or making music, singing and are also interested in developing their performance skills.
The aim of MUSIC PROJECT is to support these students by providing weekly access to a Music teacher outside of their regular classes, as well as the freedom to collaborate on various projects with like-minded students from other year groups.
In addition to working on repertoire for their own enjoyment, being a part of Music Project provides students with the opportunity to perform throughout the year at fortnightly Celebration Assemblies, MADD night, Year 6 Orientation Day, Open Night, and other school events.
