Three Exciting Events in 2026!

TERM 2: AGMS VIRTUAL FESTIVAL

ALL STUDENTS ARE ASSESSED AT THEIR LEVEL and will receive an adjudication report/certificate, and each item is awarded as either, Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze.

We would like every student to participate in this fantastic online festival hosted by The Australian Guild of Music & Speech (AGMS). The aim of the festival is to foster a sense of encouragement and enthusiasm, emphasising that the achievement is in the effort of the performer.

Teachers will select the performance piece, and students will be recorded during their lesson. The video will then be submitted to the AGMS for assessment.

This is our second year participating in this fantastic event, see the 2025 Highlights Video here!

HOW IT WORKS:

1. Parents pay the $15 entry fee online. ENTER HERE.
