Three exciting events to motivate students to practice in Terms 2, 3 & 4.

TERM 2: AGMS VIRTUAL FESTIVAL

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.
