At Kalamunda Christian School we value all areas of learning and hope to provide students with a balanced education. Research shows that a child’s participation in musical activity can make significant differences in their abilities related to learning, memory and social interactions.
In addition to our quality instrumental program, additional musical opportunities are available.
Registrations are now open for musical opportunities for this year.
We would appreciate registrations by Friday 2 February.
