WHERE DOES THE SUBJECT LEAD:
Music can be taken at all levels of the school. Core Year 9 Music prepares students for the Year 10 Music option.
Lessons are available through the school on a variety of instruments. However, individual Guitar lessons do not start until Year 10, as Guitar is covered as part of the Year 9 curriculum. There is a range of instruments available for students to hire.
Once a student has reached the appropriate level, they are encouraged to participate in one or more of the many school performance groups.
