Join the Marymount Spirit Band and learn to play a wind instrument while becoming part of a team that brings energy and excitement to our school community. Students can learn instruments such as the flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, and more, then showcase their skills at school celebrations, performances, and sporting events on campus.

No previous experience is required - just enthusiasm and a willingness to learn!

A selection of instruments will be provided by the school. Students wishing to learn an instrument not offered through the school may rent one through our partner music store.

Make music. Build school spirit. Be part of the sound of our community.

Each week, Music Together students take part in joyful, engaging music sessions led by Valentina.

The Beginner Strings Group teaches children how to start playing a string instrument such as the violin, viola, or cello. Together, they will learn how to play their new instrument through bowing games, beginning repertoire, ear training, the basics of music theory, and how to practice at home. They will learn all this amongst their peers in a fun and supportive environment

Children must have an instrument to participate in the Beginner String Group Class, but they do not need one for the first class.

There are luthiers in Paris that offer rentals for 17-20€ per month. Renting is the best way to start because, as children grow, they must change the size of their instrument until they reach full size. The luthiers also insure the instruments and are there for any necessary repairs. The teacher will hand out information about renting instruments after the first class.

This activity is designed as a year-long experience across all three trimesters. For that reason, we strongly recommend students begin in the first trimester. Joining later in the year won’t be possible unless the student has prior experience and can confidently join the group at its current level of progression.

In Ballet class, students are learning the basic steps and positions of classical ballet technique. They work on coordination, flexibility, core strength, musicality, and a sense of rhythm. Children also have moments to improvise, which helps them build confidence.

Throughout the year, students develop their tennis skills by learning and refining the fundamental techniques of the game, including groundstrokes, volleys, and serves. As their confidence grows, they practise rallying, improve consistency, and apply their skills through a variety of engaging drills and game-based activities. In the final term, students are introduced to match play, where they learn basic tactics, scoring, and game strategy. A strong emphasis is placed on sportsmanship, teamwork, and fair play, helping children enjoy the game while building confidence both on and off the court.

Tennis sessions will be held in the outdoor playground.

In case of wet weather, activities will be moved to one of the small gyms.

We are delighted to continue offering Saturday Morning Basketball and Soccer sessions, led by our wonderful community of volunteer parents*.

These sessions give children the chance to build their basketball and soccer skills through fun drills and games. It’s also a fantastic way for students and parents to connect, stay active, and enjoy some of their favourite sports together.

Each trimester will include around 6 sessions (specific dates to be confirmed).

*If you are a parent interested in supporting these activities, please let us know - we’ll be happy to connect you with the parent coordinators.

Important note about sign-up:

SchoolsBuddy only allows one activity per day to be selected. For Saturday activities, this means students can only sign up for either Basketball or Soccer in the system. If your child would like to participate in both, simply let us know and we’ll add them manually to the participant list.
