12/08/11 Our "Rock Start" program is underway but results have been a little slower than expected. If you are interested in hooking up with other students to form an ensemble or band please see reception. We are looking for guitarists, bass players, brass and keyboards. On another note we want to thank Lorenzo Colombo and Hamish Carrington for slotting in to Jason's and Matt's spots so brilliantly. Keep up the great vibe.

28/06/11- We are very sad to announce that Jason our sax teacher has decided to move to New Zealand(go figure!) He has been an absolute blessing to have around. On the same subject Matt Nurthen has accepted a management role with JB Hi-Fi and is leaving us after 3 years of dedicated teaching. We will miss both of them greatly. Good luck fellas.
