As part of the curriculum, all Year 5 students in 2027 will have the wonderful opportunity to participate in the LHC Immersive Music Program.

The program is compulsory with students participating in weekly small-group instrumental lessons and an after-school ensemble rehearsal.

Students will learn either a string or band instrument, which will be provided by the College. Through their weekly lessons, students will develop instrument-specific knowledge and skills while exploring musical elements and concepts such as duration, pitch, dynamics and expression, while also demonstrating safe practices.

Music Education Night
We are holding a Parent and Caregiver information evening and student instrument trial session as follows:

Date: Tuesday 20 October 2026
Time: 5.00pm - 7.00pm

While students participate in instrument trials,  Parents and Caregivers will be given an overview and the benefits of the LHC Immersive Music Program and hear from Dr Anita Collins, an award-winning educator, researcher and writer in the field of brain development and music learning.  Click here to read more about Dr Anita Collins.
