School Choir
At Strathpine West State School children are encouraged to join our school choir. The choir is a non-auditioned group open to all students in year 3 - year 6. The children sing a range of contemporary songs and classics whilst learning aspects of team work and some basic choral techniques. The choice of music is frequently a collaborative exercise between the classroom music teacher and the members of the choir. The choir rehearses once a week during lunch time. During the year the children perform on parade and at various functions.
