Sounds at Sunset

On a balmy evening, our musicians entertained us, and passers-by, with their sounds as the sun set behind the beautiful architecture of Yagan Square. This is the first time that our School has held a music concert at this venue, although the drama students have used the space for lessons. We enjoyed the sounds of solo artists, duos, ensembles, percussion, jazz, rock bands and the award winning Electrocity ensemble against the background sounds of the city. As the sun set, the changing light and the emerging stars added a unique ambience which we hope to repeat. It was lovely to see our families supporting the students as they performed. We could have many more in the audience at this venue, which makes the long haul of transporting all the equipment to the venue and then bumping out again so much more worthwhile. Thank you to all the musicians for stepping up to audition and being brave enough to perform in such a public space. A huge vote of thanks to the music teachers and tutors who have helped the students with their preparation. Gratitude to the events crew and music teachers who spent hours preparing the equipment, planning the move, bumping in and bumping out till very late on Thursday night and again on Friday morning. We are looking forward to our next musical interlude which will be the musical School of Rock next term.

Enrolments The School Enrolment Policy requires one full term’s notice in writing prior to the withdrawal of a student from the School. Where such notice is not received, the School will charge an amount equal to the tuition fees for that current term.

To avoid fees in lieu being charged, notice of a student’s withdrawal must be received by the Principal before the first day of the School Term preceding the Term of the student’s departure. If this does not occur, families will be charged the remainder of the current Term, plus an additional Terms fee in lieu.

Upon withdrawal of a student from the School, all fees and charges incurred for that student are payable to the School in full within seven days of exit.

If the account has been paid in full and a refund is due, payment will be processed for the full refund due within seven days of exit. SEQTA The St George’s Anglican Grammar School SEQTA account is not a monitored platform. Please contact the staff member directly to ensure prompt action to your message. Computer Rental Agreement Computers are not always reliable and will sometimes fail and require repairs. This causes the student to sometimes go without a computer for a couple of weeks. The School can now offer free loan computers when required. Parents/guardians, please fill out and sign the agreement form here and allow the IT department 24 hours to prepare a computer for use.
