The music department (in conjunction with the drama department) stages a bi-annual school musical, the most recent being Wizard of Oz in April 2013 with "Seussical The Musical" being May 2011. Recently the school also travelled to Hawaii to take part in the Annual Pacific Basin Music Festival, and received a gold award. Controversy In October 2015, at "Celebration Day" celebrations for the departure of Year 12s, three students arrived in an unauthorised helicopter, causing controversy inside and outside the school, with the incident receiving coverage by local media. The following year's "Celebration Day" for the departure of Year 12s was cancelled due to fear of a repeat event occurring.
