Music
The Music Department (ground floor H Block) has two orchestral rehearsal rooms, a computer lab, eight solo to quartet practise rooms, a locker room, a lendable instrumental storage room and department office. There are five class music teachers and 24 private instrumental teachers. In Year 3 students learn to play the recorder, and in Year 4 are given a choice of either Violin, Viola or Cello. Every alternate year a major musical is staged at the College's 600 seat Flinders Performance Centre. In 2013 this was "Guys and Dolls". Every other year a series of plays is put on. The Year 6 (formerly Year 7) musical is performed every year at the Flinders Performance Centre. The school has ten musical groups – three string orchestras, three chorales and four wind ensembles.
