Lunchtime musicians Drone video shoot App update Already the end of Term 1, it doesn't seem possible. See what your amazing students have been up to this week. Lunchtime musicians On Monday 4 April six students started off our Summer Series which will continue again in Term 4. There was an array of different performances, ages and instruments. Although students were nervous they performed really well and entertained the student body during lunch.

It was well received and I look forward to more performances later in the year. Caitlin Kuchel Year 7 – “Titanium" Feat.
