International Women’s Day Lunchtime ³§´Ç¾±°ùé±ð

Students celebrated International Women’s Day in many ways at Siena including attending a Lunchtime ³§´Ç¾±°ùé±ð, featuring the Stage Band and Junior Choir. Congratulations to all student musicians and Music staff for a fantastic performance! It was terrific to see so many students and staff enjoying themselves at the Amphitheatre.

VCE Lunchtime ³§´Ç¾±°ùé±ð

On Thursday, 2 March, our VCE Music students performed during lunchtime. They all performed one piece from their recital program to a large student audience across year levels and gained valuable performance experience. Congratulations to all performers and their accompanist, Janette Patton. The next Lunchtime ³§´Ç¾±°ùé±ð
