Music Department

Not a new starter as such, but in a new role, is Mr Jones who is known to some of you as our very talented peripatetic percussions teacher. You might recognise him from the virtual Mamma Mia rendition with the percussions ensemble last year.

However, in his new role, he is excited to be teaching music in our Pre-Prep department with our smallest members of the school community.
