The Performing Arts Centre comprises two specialist music classrooms, seven practice rooms, instrumental storage area, staff facilities and the versatile Orchestra Room.
In music, a variety of ensembles perform across the musical spectrum. Ensembles challenge and stretch the students’ knowledge of music, they build on their ability to read music, follow a conductor and play as part of a group. The ensembles include Stage Band, Chorale, Senior Orchestra, Senior & Junior Strings, Senior & Junior Concert Band, Pipe Band, String Quartet, Flute Ensemble and a Piano Trio.
The ensembles often combine to perform larger works for formal occasions as well as presenting their extensive repertoire at more intimate musical evenings. They have travelled interstate and overseas to perform in a variety of festivals and educational settings.
