THIS year the Mansfield Steiner School began their end of year celebrations with the secondary school band performance held at the Mansfield Golf Club.
Secondary students played to an appreciative audience, recognising the musicians' weekly efforts in the school ensemble program, a part of the school's curriculum in which all students participate.
Out of this program, two bands (Deceptive Biscuit Tin and Petrichor) have grown and now play events regularly.
The whole school community also came together for the String and Choral Concert which was held last Tuesday at St Mary’s Hall.
Performers were members of Steiner's extra-curricular groups that have been gathering early in the morning, practising before school all year.
