Junior Singers

The Junior Singers meets every Monday from 1.10pm to 1.40pm. The Junior Singers perform at Open Nights and the Spring Concert each year.  

It has been my great pleasure to become the director of the Junior Singers this year. We have a faithful group of children who attend weekly rehearsals. They have developed extremely well over the year and we have covered repertoire from sacred, pop, movie and contemporary genres. I am looking forward to the coming year and we always welcome new members.

Tutor of Singing

The Junior Singers have completed a very successful and busy year! This year for the very first time we were being led by the schools beloved and well-known, Ms J Bourke; who also gives singing lessons to a lot of our pupils. We were accompanied on the piano by our very own, Miss R Foster; who has taught here for years and has had many competition winning pieces with the Junior Choir in the past. We had around 25 pupils ranging from Years 8-10, eager to perform and we practised intensely every Wednesday afternoon from 3:30pm until 4:00pm.

The Junior Singers had their debut at Open Nights, on Wednesday, 9th and Thursday, 10th January 2019, when we performed at the top of Grosvenor’s feature staircase welcoming the P6 and 7 pupils to our fantastic school! We sang the pieces ‘Still’, ‘Somewhere Out There’ and ‘Still, Still, Still’. We received a very positive response from anyone that heard us. After that, our focus was very much on the upcoming Spring Concert. We began rehearsing at Monday lunchtimes as well as continuing with our Wednesday after school session.

Finally, after all of the hard work and long rehearsals it was the night of the annual Grosvenor Grammar School Spring Concert. The Junior Singers were second up to perform and the pieces we sang included ‘Kusimama’, ‘Why We Sing’ and ‘Still.’ Everyone did exceedingly well and we could not be happier with how our performance went. I would like the thank Ms Bourke and Miss Foster for all the hard work they have put into the Junior Singers this year. We could not have done it without them. I look forward to another successful year with Junior Singers.
