In the last week of Term 3, the Kool Skools project participants travelled to Studio 52 in Heidelberg to record their songs for the College’s 2022 Kool Skools album titled Wondering.
This album will feature a very different mix of talent: from students returning to the studio to add to their growing portfolios to newbies from Years 7 and 8 recording their first songs. Regardless of age, all of our songwriters and performers had a productive and enjoyable day, learning the tricks of the trade in a professional setting with highly-skilled sound engineers.
The design of the cover for the new album (pictured below) was the winning entry by Mia Story (Year 10 Red) from the cover design competition held in Term 3.
The Kool Skools project provides an opportunity for secondary school students to have a gateway into the music industry. For more than 25 years, students from Victorian schools have had the chance to work in a professional studio to record an album, with State Awards Nights held later in the year to showcase and celebrate the best songs and performances.
