Tuition is in tutorial groups rotating throughout the school day, and whole band rehearses after school. The Senior Band plays each week for the school assembly.  

A Band concert is held each year where both Senior and Junior Bands perform, supported by solo performances. 

Concerts for instrumental performances are held throughout the year. 

All rehearsals and tutorials take place in the Performing Art Centre.  School instruments are available for hire.

JRock

St. Peter’s Anglican Primary School has participated in J Rock since 2007. J Rock is the Primary School equivalent of Rock Eisteddfod. Schools create an eight minute dance and drama performance that is supported by a pre-recorded soundtrack, sets, props and costumes.

J Rock is a school community project that involves the students, staff and parents creating a wonderful entertainment production. The sets, costumes, choreography, design and production is a combined effort that comes together over a time period of approximately 7 months.

In 2009, St Peter's produced a dynamic J Rock piece depicting the story of Moses and the 'Exodus' from Egypt.. As a primary school, we were very encouraged to be invited to perform in front of 8 000 people as a showcase item at the Premier Division Grand Final of the High School Rock Eisteddfod at The Sydney Entertainment Centre.

In 2008, our J Rock team recreated the story of ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’. Our production focused on the strong Christian symbolism of the famous C.S. Lewis novel. Our students embraced the challenge and performed exceptionally well. It was a great team effort and we received perfect scores in every area of judging. 

In 2007, our performance was entitled ‘Amazing Grace: The Story of John Newton’. It chronicled the life of famous minister and hymnist John Newton, who was originally involved in the slave trade before devoting his life to God. We performed at Homebush in front of an audience of 5 000.
