It was a great start to the College year when the choir, under the direction of Mrs Brown, sang “Touch The Sky”. It was also very therapeutic for a choir to be actually singing after our extended lockdown.
Many thanks to Jared Leo who sang so beautifully at our first assembly in February.
Jared achieved the top score in performance in Unit 4 last year. It was wonderful to hear him sing again for the College.
Congratulations also to Year 11 student, Sam Hines, for performing his own composition on guitar. Sam received a distinction in the Music Guild awards in 2020.
Thanks to Janelle Nichols, Emily O’Kane and Zoe Dixon for accompanying Sam.
Many talented students were thrilled to be able to perform under the marquee at the swimming sports. This opportunity was great for the students to entertain their friends and staff between events. We thank Year 12 student, Kaitlyn Eastwood, for her beautiful rendition of “Advance Australia Fair”.
Last week during the morning rehearsal for the Senior Symphonic Winds, Emily O’Kane, our senior clarinetist, was given the opportunity to conduct her fellow musicians. Emily certainly showed great promise in this area and we hope to see her with the baton in hand at future events.
Last Friday evening, the combined bands of our College joined together on the green in the Performing Arts area, for an afternoon of rehearsing and getting to know each other. The evening concluded with a short but entertaining concert to the parents. Many thanks to our band directors - Ms Caitlin Doble, Mrs Veronica Marrie and Ms Cordell who made this event possible.
We look forward to seeing parents and friends at future events.
The combined bands evening provided a lovely welcome back into what we hope is a year full of concerts and live performances.
The warm weather perfectly reflected the positive atmosphere where new friendships were being made in the midst of rehearsals and a pizza dinner! Alongside the musicians of the College’s Junior, Intermediate and Senior Symphonic Wind Ensembles, I enjoyed performing our current pieces to parents and friends after a long period of being unable to do so. I look forward to making more connections with the talented musicians at the College throughout the year.'

Last week, three of our Year 10 Music in Industry students recorded our Saint Ignatius jingle for our College advertisement for K Rock and Bay FM. Lily Petterwood, Mackinley Watson and Summer De Vries were a little nervous but very excited to be part of the music.
Congratulations to our College Captains, Coco Bullock, Daniel McInerney Sotomayor and public speaking students Ella Dowling and Owen McCoughtry for their eloquent words.
The students were thrilled to be in the K Rock studios and were made very welcome by the staff. We do hope you tune into K Rock and Bay FM and enjoy this advertisement!
Instrumental music lessons have commenced well and it is so good to see the students rehearsing with their teachers and not on Zoom!
We now have 18 very experienced instrumental teachers who come to our College each week. Timetables are organised on a rotating basis so hopefully students will not miss the same subject each week.
There are a few vacancies in each instrument, so if a student is keen to commence lessons next term, please collect a form from the Performing Arts office and fill it in before the end of term.
We are pleased to welcome a new piano teacher Ms Lydia Chan and also a new guitar teacher Mr Ash Ward.
We have many ensembles in the College and new students are very welcome. Students who learn an instrument outside the College are also invited.
Please contact me, Mrs Pape, papel@ignatius.vic.edu.au if you are interested or have any questions.
