In the last week of Term 2, 22 of our Year 6 students represented Varsity College at the 2026 Regional Primary Music Camp. These students were selected by a regional panel, from hundreds of applicants across the region. The camp involved four days of intensive ensemble rehearsals and workshops, to learn a range of new and challenging repertoire as part of a String ensemble, Band or Choir.
The ensembles each had the privilege of working with many different local conductors, and an esteemed visiting guest conductor, who all brought a variety of strategies to develop and extend the students musically and technically. During the camp, students were also able to witness an evening concert presented by visiting musicians, as well as engage in a variety of camp activities when not rehearsing.
While a significant number of students in attendance at the camp were from our Varsity College Instrumental Music or Choir programs, they benefited from collaborating with and performing alongside many other students and staff from schools across the South East Region.
To conclude the camp, families and special guests were invited to attend the finale concert on Thursday evening. This concert was a big success and audiences were blown away by what the students had been able to achieve in such a short time!
Congratulations to all Varsity College students and staff who attended this event, and thank you to South East Region Music for making providing such an invaluable opportunity for our students!
