Choirs & Catholic Schools Music Festival
Choirs & Catholic Schools Music Festival
Students from Year 5 and 6 have the opportunity to take part in our St Thomas School Festival Choir. The choir rehearses once per week for 30 minutes with a Choir Director.
The major performance for this is the Catholic Schools Music Festival which is held in the third term at the Festival Theatre.
It is a great opportunity for our school to be represented in a combined choir of in excess of 1800 other students from across the state.

The annual Catholic Schools Music Festival is the premier Arts Event for Catholic Education in South Australia.
The festival showcases the talents of around 2000 upper primary and secondary students from 80 Catholic schools and Colleges who spend 8 months preparing for their moment on stage. Performances are held each September, with each evening featuring a massed choir, instrumental ensembles, vocal groups and solo artists.
Each performance consists of a 370-voice Combined Schools Upper Primary Massed Choir formed by different schools each evening including representation from our regional communities in Clare, Yorketown, Whyalla, Wallaroo & Murray Bridge. All choirs rehearse weekly with their school's Choir Trainer, and then come together for their combined massed rehearsal one month prior to the event.
