For the first time in months, the MLMC College Choir was able to gather and sing together both the national and the College anthems at the Top Achievers’ Assembly on Wednesday 3 February. During 2020, singing in groups was not possible and we now have the exciting opportunity of rebuilding the College Choir.
Singing in a choir is beneficial in a number of different ways, such as helping to forge social bonds, and improving our sense of happiness and wellbeing. Making music exercises the brain as well as the body, but singing is particularly beneficial for improving breathing, posture and muscle tension.
Choir rehearsal takes place on Wednesdays after school, between 3.30pm and 5.00pm, in McAuley Hall. The Choir is an excellent opportunity for your child to participate in a year-long program and sing with other students. The College Choir will participate in various College Liturgies, assemblies and concerts, as well as providing service for Lilydale RSL’s Anzac Day and Remembrance Day services.
If you have any queries about your child joining Choir, please contact Ms Caroline Dickason via cdickason@mlmc.vic.edu.au or Music department secretary Mrs Sharon Flint via sflint@mlmc.vic.edu.au
Below are some student reflections from College Choir members:
