Music

In 2021 the music students have enjoyed performing songs on guitar, bass, vocals, drums and keyboard with the help of Ms Hoskins, Mr Paraha, Mr Malcolm and Mrs Stoove. We have had a lot of success with seniors gaining NCEA qualifications and our Junior Music students have developed their musicianship in preparation for 2022 and beyond.

Live performances were difficult this year with all the interruptions, however we enjoyed sharing our talent where possible - such as performing at the Year 8 Open Day, End of Year Assemblies and the School Musical. We look forward to doing many more performances in the future. The Music Department was excited to be part of the musical this year. A big thanks goes out to Mrs Stone for directing the show and taking us ‘Back to the ‘80s’. We look forward to working alongside Drama and the new Performing Arts students next year where students will be practicing for, and performing at, a variety of concerts, showcasing singers, bands, dancers, speeches and drama acts. This year we have continued using cloud based music software which has allowed our students to work on their songs anywhere, at any time. And, finally, we say goodbye to our amazing Year 13 Music students of 2021 we look forward to hearing from them over the coming years about their postsecondary school, musical pursuits.
