• PS Choir 3.45 - 4.15pm - please click here for the Advice and Commitment letter
• JS Choir 4.15 - 5.15pm - please click here for the Advice and Commitment letter

The PS Choir sings mostly for pleasure. The JS Choir sings for pleasure, but also prepares for public performances and sings regularly at St Lukes Home for the residents. The Choir has sung in 2010 and 2011 at Loews Ventana Resort during their "12 Days of Christmas" programme.

JS Choristers are expected to be able to read Music, which is taught contemporaneously in the JS Music programme. JS Choristers may also elect to have separate Voice lessons through the Instrumental Music programme. Two IST Choristers have been selected for the Tucson Girls Chorus. Congratulations Kyra Szabo and Olivia Jacob.
