High notes this year CLAUDINE MAH
Music is alive and well at St Hilda’s with our extensive co-curricular program demonstrated at the Junior and Senior campuses through a large number of concerts and appearances.
Violin
Strings Concert in the School Chapel June Mr Adrian Wayte directed several highly talented groups of students who specialise in violin, viola, cello, double bass, guitar and harp. The Junior and Senior String Orchestras presented music by Schubert and the audience was treated to fine solos by Katie Low, Miranda Dyskin, Lara Hadi, Emma Hadi, Alice Dring, Nikita Zhuang, Sarah Low, Nancy Shen, Claudine Mah and Olivia Tan.
High School Musical July
LUCY GOODRICK Voice
Head of Music Mr Tim Chapman is especially proud of the 21 girls in Years 8-12 who accompanied the cast by playing the musical score for this year’s School production. The students mastered 50 songs: they sounded like the real deal and only two professionals played with them. Nobody could see them and many thought it was the CD! Next time you are at a performance, pop your head over the black curtain rail to have a look in the orchestra pit and say hello.
Year 6 Production August The Year 6 students cleverly balanced their academic learning, roles as school leaders and the production The Sleuth Biz. All 72 students performed brilliantly and truly showcased their music, dance and drama skills in roles which highlighted their personalities and talents.

Well done to our “Jazzers” who presented nearly three hours of Jumping Jazz. The Wright Bennett Cortile was splendidly decorated, thanks to Toni Boyd and the MASH mums, and the packed and exuberant audience made the atmosphere the perfect setting for our Senior School Jazz Musicians. Jazz Combo, Soul Band and Saintly Jazz all performed popular standards with superb aplomb, as well as numbers from our Student Dixieland Jazz Band.
