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

Our diverse range of ensembles ensures that each student can build confidence in playing their chosen instrument. Ensembles play an essential role in a child’s music education, fostering social interaction and a sense of community across year levels.

From choirs and bands to small ensembles, ranging from beginner to advanced, students at all stages of their musical journey can enjoy the social aspects of creating music together. They also develop vital ensemble skills such as blending, working cohesively to create a unified sound, and pushing their own musical limits.
