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 directorship of Mr Nino Sloser. Bands rehearse on Fridays after school and in 2022 and 2023 enjoyed great success at the Smokefree Rockquest and Stand Up Stand Out competition. It has been wonderful to experience the bands’ growth this year, and we look forward to seeing the programme evolve with more bands emerging and rocking in the future!
