Music News
On Wednesday afternoon the College Music department held a guitar workshop for our more advanced students. The boys were given several tools they can implement into their playing to help develop their skills in the area of improvisation and soloing. While some of the concepts were somewhat challenging, these budding young guitarists approached them with diligence and confidence. Well done boys and special thanks to Mr O’Donnell (Guitar Master) for sharing his expertise with our students.
We wish all of our Year 12 Drama and Visual Arts students the very best as they approach their Trial HSC exams and a reminder to the Visual Arts students that the Body of Work (Major project) is due on Monday 2nd September 3pm.
