Congratulations to half of our Year 8 cohort on successfully completing their study of Music in Semester One! It has been a semester filled with interesting melodies, harmonies, and rhythmic exploration. We are proud of the progress and dedication shown by our talented cohort.

For many of our Year 8 students, this semester marks their final time studying Music within their schooling. As they move on to explore new subjects and interests, we want to acknowledge the significant role music has played in their education. It has not only enhanced their creative expression but also fostered teamwork, discipline, and a deeper appreciation for the arts.

During the semester, students had the opportunity to explore various aspects of music, including theory, composition, and performance. They engaged in activities that challenged their musical skills, broadened their understanding of different genres, and encouraged them to express their unique musical voices.

The dedication and commitment exhibited by our Year 8 students have been commendable. They have demonstrated growth, not only in their musical abilities but also in their perseverance, collaboration, and resilience. We are confident that the skills they have developed through their music studies will continue to benefit them in all areas of their lives.

As we bid farewell to Music as a compulsory subject, we encourage our Year 8 students to keep music alive in their minds. Whether it be through joining extracurricular music programs, exploring musical hobbies, we hope they will carry the joy of music with them wherever they go.

Please enjoy the accompanying photos, which serve as a testament to the hard work and enthusiasm our Year 8 students have poured into their music studies. We wish them all the best in their future endeavours and encourage them to continue embracing the transformative power of music.
