Band
The outstanding band program at Belrose Public School begins in Year 3 when all students are invited to join the Junior Band. Auditions are held for transition from Junior to Intermediate Band at the end of Year 3 and from Intermediate to Senior Band at the end of Year 4. Talented students in Year 5 and 6 also have the opportunity to join the Jazz Band.
The three senior bands will be touring in Term 4 this year. The bands participate in festivals, school events and community events throughout the year. A joint parent/staff band committee supports the band program in conjunction with the school bandmaster.
Choir
We have two choirs at Belrose Public School, the Senior Choir and the Junior Choir. The Senior Choir consists of students from Years 3 to 6 , while the Junior Choir consists of Year 2 students.
The choirs perform at school events and organisations outside of school. A group of students have auditioned for School Spectacular this year, an annual event that showcases talent over 5,000 schools across NSW at Qudos Bank Arena. Both choirs rehearse each week during school time.
