Ensemble Participation

All students enrolled in the Instrumental Program are encouraged to participate in a College Ensemble.
When the student is at an appropriate level of musicianship (as deemed by the Instrumental Teacher) ensemble participation is mandatory.

Missed Lessons

When recording your students absence on PAM, please also email your students Music teacher directly on their email address. Music teachers need to be aware of student absences before 9am. You can also leave a voice message on the Music line: 5421 266.  If the Music Department is not informed prior to 9.00am, the College reserves the right to charge for that missed lesson.

Missed lessons due to illness, extended family holidays or forgetfulness will be made up at the teacher’s discretion; however, it is courteous to give prior notice of absence to your child’s instrumental teacher.

School events (excursions, sporting events, class tests, etc) sometimes clash with music lessons, in which case the student should inform the instrumental teacher as soon as they become aware of the clash.

Termination of Lessons

Written notification to terminate lessons must be given to the Music Coordinator four weeks prior to cessation date.

Music Resources

Students may require certain sheet music, books or recordings. These resources are not available directly from the College, and will not be photocopied due to copyright regulations. Instrumental teachers will recommend avenues for the student to purchase these resources.

Instrument Hire

A limited number of instruments are available to hire from the College. Instrument hire will be arranged at the first lesson. A separate “Hire Form” will be sent home for the parent/ guardian to complete and return. Hire fees will be charged to the College family account.
