The School of Rock was initiated in 2022 to enable students interested in contemporary music styles to come together and work on their arranging and group performance skills under the mentorship of Mr John Murray and the directorship of Mr Nino Sloser. Bands rehearse on Wednesdays after school and in recent years have enjoyed great success at the Smokefree Rockquest and Stand Up Stand Out competition. It has been wonderful to experience the bands’ growth over the years, and we look forward to seeing the programme evolve with more bands emerging and rocking in the future!
