Music School
Music is an important part of our surroundings and we should study it because it’s part of our history. Music tells us how people have reacted to the world throughout time. Listening to music helps us understand the rich musical traditions passed down to us. Music allows us to express ourselves without using words and helps us become more emotionally mature.
Children respond to music intuitively. In order to broaden the quality of their responsiveness, understanding, skills and appreciation are taught through:
- Presentation of the concepts involved in music organization
- Learning skills of musical performance
- Knowledge of music literature
- Integrated left and right brained activity which provides a means of developing the whole person
The Music Concepts of rhythm, melody, harmony, timbre, texture, form and notation will be taught through:
- The Activities of singing, movement, active listening, reading, writing, performing and creating will be utilized during music lessons.
- Where possible subject integration will take place and connections made with other subjects.
Progress concerts are held for students of the above teachers to have performance practice in front of an audience in term three annually.

Robots are becoming more important in education. They will be big in the future, so we need to get today’s students ready. Working with robots makes you better at solving problems in creative ways. It also makes learning more fun and lets students take charge of their own learning.
