Each grade has a choir that practises once a week. All students in the grade participate in their choirs. The grades are instructed by grade teachers. An exciting event for theY6 choir is that they sing at the Hills Music Festival in September each year.
The Vocal Ensemble
This choir is entry by audition only. All students from Kindergarten to Y6 are welcome to audition. The conductors are Mrs Spears, Mrs Evans and Mrs Eldridge. The choir practises every Thursday at lunch time. The Vocal Ensemble has represented the school on many occasions such as the Secondary Choral Concert Series at the Opera House, the Celebration Concert at the Sydney Town Hall and the Hills District Performing Arts Festival as well as more local performances at Kilvington Village Nursing home and the Choir of Angels concert at the Epping Club.
The School Band
The band has two levels. The training band and the performance band. The training band was established for band members who have just started playing. Most of their music is easy. The training band plays in eisteddfods and has won medals. The training band's rehearsal day is Tuesday. The performance band trains on Monday and Thursday mornings. Each band has a workshop every term. Members of each band are expected to have a tutor. Most students who are keen and are Y3 or older will be accepted into the band.

ERROR regarding 20th anniversary
Planning for the 20th Anniversary Band Celebration took an unexpected turn as we discovered that the first band was formed during 1991!! Isn't it amazing how 18.5 years feels like 20 years!! It has been decided to continue planning for the 20th Anniversary but hold it in 2011 when it is actually due.
