The School Choir is comprised of students from years 4, 5, 6 and 7. In 1998 the School Choir numbered 45. Students are auditioned at the commencement of each year.

Students are involved with many performances throughout the year: ANZAC Ceremony, 'Children Sing Festival', N.P.P.S. Open Night, Christmas Assembly and Graduation. Throughout the year there are often invitations to perform for the community or for special projects. These can be viewed under '1998 Projects'.

 

North Parmelia Primary
Training Choir

The Training Choir consists of students from years 4-6. The Choir is seen as a training ground for young singers who enjoy a fun approach to singing and/or who aspire to be a member of the School Choir. The Choir is seen as an extension program and students are given the opportunity to be a member only if they are able to handle the extra work load created by the class time they miss as a result of rehearsals.

In both choirs, there is an emphasis on commitment for varying lengths of time depending on the time of year and the choir.
 

Band

The band program saw its inception in 1997 to provide a forum for students involved with private and school instrumental tuition to be involved in ensemble work at a more advanced level than what was happening in the classroom.
 

School of Instrumental Music

The instrumental program is provided to selected year six and seven students by the School of Instrumental Music. The current program offers clarinet only.
