GRANDPARENT CONCERT
Mitchelton’s Grandparent concert is
a wonderful annual event that takes place in school time during second
term. Every child in the school
including Prep plus all three choirs will perform on stage. Each year this introduction of stage
performing encourages budding young choristers to join the school choirs.
CHOIR TOUR
Each
year, the choir’s tour suburbs close to Mitchelton. They visit either retirement homes or child
care centres to perform a variety of music that they have learnt that
year. Choir tours not only treat our
audiences with a wonderful concert, but also develops confidence, tolerance,
discipline and satisfaction within its members.
