We have a high expectation for our students and we have opted once again to do the white bar-‘advance introductory’. This is an excellent example of parents and the school, working together in partnership to increase students’ learning opportunities and experiences. To learn at a high level, all students need the guidance and support of both the school and their families during the presentation, rehearsal, the event itself and when receiving the adjudicators decision. We ask parents to support their children with the results they achieve. This is an examination and the adjudicator determines the appropriate results for your child at that moment in time.

The level at which students are entered is at the discretion of the teacher.
Suggested school levels
Introductory/advance introductory Year 3 and 4
Elementary/advance elementary Year 5 and 6
Junior/advance junior Year 7 and 8
You can see that we did not choose an easy level for our students.
The Year 3 results for the ‘advance introductory’ will be confirmed at the end of the examination.
