Extra Curricular Music Program
WPSC Music department is a thriving and dynamic creative area in the school. We have regular concerts for student bands and soloists in formal and informal settings and collaborate with our local primary schools. Students are able to access expert tuition on a wide range of instruments and follow their musical ambitions through available rehearsal spaces. Learning an instrument reduces stress, increases perseverance, patience and memory capability. It cultivates creativity, music appreciation and time management skills. In fact it is probably one of the best activities you can do for your brain! Instrumental music is the ideal companion for Music classes in Years 7 & 8, highly recommended for Music electives in Years 9&10 and essential for VCE. Music is central to the community at WPSC, come and join the fun!
