Originally scheduled for 6.00pm on Saturday 7 August, at St Paul’s Anglican Church in Burwood, the concert is postponed due to the current Greater Sydney COVID-19 lockdown, with a date yet to be announced. It will be part of celebrations for the 150th Anniversary of the Church. (Concert Flyer)

Term 3 Classes postponed due to Sydney Lockdown

We nearly made it to the end of Term 2, cancelling the final class as cases were rising.

Right now we can’t make any promises as to when Term 3 will begin (having been planned for today 15 July). We hope to resume once Greater Sydney COVID-19 Lockdown comes to an end, and will be subject to any NSW Health Regulations.
