Wow, what a spooktacular concert last week. Our Halloween Themed Secondary Music Ensembles Concert was certainly a hit with one of our biggest audiences ever, at standing room only in the Auditorium! Thank you to all parents, learners and staff who came to support our musicians on the night we hope you were thoroughly entertained as much as we loved the opportunity to showcase our music and entertain you!

A huge congratulations to all the performers; Year 8, Secondary Choir, Secondary Chamber Ensemble, Secondary Orchestra and the Guitar Group. The hours of rehearsal and prep time you put in is endless and in the words of the ‘Time Warp’ “It’s Astounding” what you achieve and we are all very proud.
