Our Fabulous Music and Performing Arts Program.
Yarrilee State School is very lucky to have a very talented and dedicated music team who provide a range of exciting programs as part of our school music program.
There is no other school on the Fraser Coast offering such an amazing range of Music Programs to students.
From 2020 we now have 2 school based Classroom Music Teachers teaching year levels P-6 as well as an Instrumental Specialist for Strings and an Instrumental Specialist for Brass, Woodwind and Percussion who are now based at Yarrilee.
This is our performance choir for students in years 4-6 and costs $25 per year. This payment is for buses, competition entry fees and music copying and purchases. Auditions were conducted in the initial weeks of school for Years 4, 5 and 6 students. It is a requirement that all students in Yarrilee Voices have a Music Arts shirt. These can be purchased through our Uniform Shop. Mrs. Sinclair is responsible for Yarrilee Voices and she is happy to answer any queries about this program.
