Music

At Assumption College’s Champagnat Centre, students explore music is all its facets; vocal, instrumental, performance and recording. 

There are numerous bands and ensembles that students can join, depending on their years level, and singers can join the choir or work on their solo vocal performances.

Our musicians and singers get to showcase their talents at our musical soiree and annual Assumption Day talent contest. They also play an integral role in school liturgies, masses, assemblies and special events. The Co-Curricular opportunities for Music enthusiasts allow them to develop technical and performance skills, as well as the collaborative skills required by live performances in various indoor and outdoor venues.
