Music at GHPS

Music Captains 2026 – Shreyan & Emma

All students participate in a one-hour weekly music lesson in the music room, guided by our specialist music teacher.

Additionally, we offer a range of extracurricular music groups, including a choir for students in Grades 2 to 6, the school rock band “The Party Hats” for Grades 5 and 6, and a ukulele club.

There is also a “music bus” that attends twice a week, where students can opt in for additional keyboard lessons.

These groups rehearse during lunchtime and regularly perform at school assemblies.

Our Music and Performing Arts program provides students with rich opportunities to explore creativity, build confidence, and develop their skills as performers. Aligned with the Victorian Curriculum, the program supports students to sing, play, create, and respond to music while developing their understanding of rhythm, pitch, dynamics, and expression.

Students participate in regular classroom music lessons that combine practical performance with opportunities to compose and appreciate a wide range of musical styles and cultures. Through these experiences, students build collaboration skills, creativity, and confidence in expressing themselves.

A highlight of the program is our school choir, which meets at lunchtime and provides students with the opportunity to further develop their vocal skills and perform as a group. In addition, our student band, Party Hats, offers musicians the chance to rehearse and perform contemporary pieces together.

Both the choir and Party Hats perform regularly at school assemblies, community events such as fetes, and the annual school performance, showcasing student talent and fostering a strong sense of pride and connection within the school community.

Every two years the school holds a whole school concert, at Camberwell Grammar Performing Arts Centre. The next performance will be “Night at the Museum” where all students will perform at least two songs and dances as well as the finale.
