Music
Music is offered to all students in Terms 1 and 3 with a qualified Music teacher. Students from Years 3-6 are able to participate in the school choir and take part in Eisteddfods, Sacramental and school Masses and liturgies. The Hume Conservatorium of Music also conducts lessons at the school.
