The Music Department at Cardijn College encourages students to engage fully in the community life of the college through the learning, understanding and creation of music.

At Cardijn College, we offer a variety of ensembles to ensure your child builds confidence in playing the instrument of their choice. Ensembles are an essential part of a child’s music education.

The instrumental program is designed to support both the Ensemble Program at the college as well as those students participating in Advanced Music who wish to increase their knowledge and skill on their chosen instrument or wish to pick up a second instrument. It also supports those students who are part of the music experience/media/technology courses who wish to learn an instrument.
