  • Symphony Orchestra

The orchestra continues to be very active. It maintains a very high standard of performance. A few external students, alumnae, parents and teachers are honorary members of the orchestra.

The orchestra participates in school ceremonies, e.g. Graduation, and civic ceremonies, e.g. ceremonies for visiting dignitaries. The orchestra is invited annually to participate in a concert in aid of the Franciscan Ministries.

In 2015 the orchestra launched its 'Abeng Tour', which featured the premiere of an original composition entitled ‘Abeng’ by Jamaican composer Dr. Andrew Marshall. This composition is for traditional Maroon instruments and symphony orchestra. Members of the Maroon Community in Portland and members of the Jamaica Military Band performed with the orchestra.
