The choir gives students the opportunity to develop their skills of musicianship, as a wide repertoire of music is covered so that it can be used in various performance opportunities - masses, school assemblies, concerts and The Big Sing Choir Festival.
Auditions are held at the end of each year with follow up auditions for any new students at the start of the year.
Come along and use the most easily transported musical instrument of all - your voice!
