2021 Ensemble Camp

Our College Vocal, Guitar and Percussion ensembles travelled to Healesville last Wednesday to attend the annual Ensemble Camp.

Students took part in rehearsals and were scheduled to perform at St Brigid’s Primary School, Healesville, on the way home. However, due to the COVID-19 lockdown announcement, we could not perform and returned a day early from the camp.

Despite the disappointing news, students adapted well and performed their newly learnt repertoire to each other, showing incredible support and encouragement.

Once the lockdown was announced, students swung into action, packing up equipment and their rooms. Every student pitched in and the teamwork shown was inspiring.

Upon return to the College at 6pm on Thursday, the students once again helped put away equipment and instruments before heading home. We thank parents and guardians for their patience on the night and for promptly picking up their children when plans were changed at short notice.

The Ensemble Camp is an excellent experience for students involved in our College ensembles. The skills, friendships and experiences are remembered and valued for years to come.
