Our school is involved in the Departmental Instrumental Music Program, where children have the opportunity of learning a brass, woodwind, percussion or string instrument under the instruction of a visiting teacher employed by Education Queensland. Pupils from years 4 to 6 are eligible to receive tuition in brass (trumpet, trombone, euphonium, and French horn), woodwind (clarinet, flute, and saxophone) and percussion (drums, xylophone etc); while children from years 3 to 6 are eligible to learn string instruments (violin, cello, bass).
Once pupils have mastered the basic skills of their instrument they join the Bribie Island Combined School Band and Junior Orchestra to perform at special functions. Recruitment sessions (where parents are able to become more familiar with the school policy in relation to these programs) are held annually and are advertised through the school Newsletter and on Facebook.
