It has been a brilliant start to the year for our amazingly talented KSHS music students.

Last term there were several musical highlights and attached are some photos. Firstly, some of our Year 9 music students were invited to perform at Falls Road Primary School. Sienna Petrig and Sophie Martin performed on their wind instruments and talked about their IMSS music experience so far. Sienna is a former Falls Road Primary School student, so it was a nice reconnection for her and the school. The item finished with the Year 9 rock band performing 'Don’t Speak' by No Doubt. The group comprised of Ruby Dunne, Sofia Morrison, Greg Lawrence, Alice Clark, and Hanna Tengju Rasydan. The students did a brilliant job and were an excellent representation of our budding musicians. We received positive feedback from students and parents from Falls Road.

Next was the annual Anzac assembly. It was fantastic to be able to have the students perform this year as last year the ceremony was recorded due to Covid19. The students involved were the Choir, Concert Bands and String Orchestra. There were over 100 students involved in performing at the event so it is always a mammoth effort to organise. As always the event was very moving and the music students conducted themselves professionally. A big thanks to Mr Hind for his work for composing a piece for the event. A big thanks also goes to Tashana Tweddle and Bronwynn Sprogowski for their hard work in putting the event together and all of the practice leading up to it.

Lastly its was fantastic to have KSHS music represented in the broader community at the Kalamunda Show. We showcased 3 hours of music on the Friday night before the fireworks and all the students involved did a fantastic job well done to all! We have missed out on the show over the last few years due to it being cancelled, so it was great to be back again this year.
