On Tuesday 11 June 2013 the Primary School presented its final Primary Music Concert for this academic year. The concert was well attended and all the children had the opportunity to perform from each Year group (1 – 6). These performances included solo performances from instrumentalists and group performances from either the Primary Junior Choir (Year 1 – 4) or the Primary Senior Choir (Year 5 – 6) as well.
The repertoire included: Year 1 – ‘Bound for South Australia’, Year 2 – ‘The Garden Song’ by David Mallett, Year 3 – ‘Clementine’, Year 4 – ‘Safari’, Year 5 – ‘Eleanor Rigby’ by Paul McCartney, Primary Choir – ‘Rhythm of Life’ by Cy Coleman and ‘Let it Be’ by Paul McCartney, Year 6 – Recorder group – ‘Ode de Joy’ by Beethoven, ‘Oh when the Saints’ and ‘Gaudeamus Igitur’ – Latin Traditional. There was also a final performance including the Senior Combined Choir (Year 5 and 6) singing ‘The Power of Music’ by Steven Rickards.

The feedback from the parents was extremely positive. They all enjoyed each performance and were amazed at how everyone in the Primary School was involved. When it came to showcasing musical talents at the school the Music Department ensured that this happened!
