25.01.2022 On Thursday 19th November we held our Junior Music Concert. For many students this was the first concert of the year, and for the Year 7s, the first performance of their John Forrest experience. It was wonderful to see such a crowd of parents, grandparents and friends gathered to watch. The audience enjoyed fantastic performances from the junior ensembles including bands, guitar ensembles, percussion ensemble and three different choirs. Many thanks to the IMSS and JFSC staff who conducted and helped on the night.
