Matt Jefferis, who assists in running the school band, said students loved participating in the weekly classes.
“Every Friday we run a band lesson, and we do individual lessons for the kids,” he said.
“We have two different groups, the juniors and the seniors, we work towards the big school concert at the end of the year.”
Students can learn a range of instruments, including cello, violin, drums and more.
“We’ve also got flutes, clarinets, saxophones, trumpets and percussion,” Matt said.
“The kids gain a lot from it from playing in front of people, and it's good for their minds as well.”
The school concert at the end of the year is a major event, where students showcase their artistic talents.
Students get to play their instruments on the big stage, and as well as sing, dance and act in the big spectacle.
For many students, band lessons and learning an instrument are among their favourite subjects at school.
With many different opportunities to perform in and out of the school grounds, this specialised subject is always a big hit.
