St Mary's music department 2025 has started off with an absolute bang (literally) with the drummers providing the first ever entertainment at the Athletics Carnival. The addition of music throughout the day, as well as drum rolls for finish line crossing and announcing the winning House, really brought the vibes and atmosphere to the next level. Thank you everyone who helped out with drum transport, it was not an easy task but so worth it!

A couple of weeks before this, the St Mary's choir had their first performance at the Year 7 Welcome Day mass. Thank you all who came and sang in the church and welcomed the parents and students afterwards.

On Thursday the Big Band and the Choir performed for the Official Opening of the McCartney Wing assembly and received many thanks and congratulations from the attendees. Well done in particular to our soloists Maddy Gournas and Tom Cusack. We are honoured to have provided the music for that very important assembly.

Our instrumental program is going well with a record number of year 7 instrumentalists and vocalists for this time of year! Ensembles have all started back up, so make sure you express your interest if you would like to join one as soon as possible. Thank you and happy practicing!
