This week it was Year 3 Navy and Gold’s turn to celebrate Family Mass with Father Carlos. Family Mass is a wonderful opportunity to strengthen our community and celebrate the beautiful partnership between home and school, recognising parents as the first educators of their children in faith. By participating side-by-side, our families showed what faith in action truly looks like. Students and their parents played an active role in the liturgy, from the prayerful delivery of the First Reading and Responsorial Psalm to the presentation of the Offertory gifts. We are so grateful to all the Year 3 Navy and Gold parents and family members who joined us for this special celebration. 🙏💙💛 #FamilyMass #Year3 #SchoolofCuriosity

The chamber orchestra consists of our more experienced members of the string orchestra. They have been working on this piece by a contemporary English composer; Max Richter. This is a style of composition known as Minimalism which our senior music students have been studying in class. It seems simple in structure but actually has a complex underlying melodic structure - whilst repetitive, please listen closely to the harmonic tension and resolution and imagine the sun rising over the ocean.
