When I Hear Music by Chad Taylor and Courtney Haynes
An immersive experience for students starting secondary school.
Meet Chay, Tyrese, Jordan, Sasha, and Amy as they navigate their first day with apprehension, get lost in the corridors, encounter big kids in the playground, have their first math lesson with Miss Carter and make new friends on the basketball court.
Starting secondary school is a minefield…new faces, unspoken rules, and the pressure to fit in. For Chay Honours, an introspective 11-year-old who finds comfort in classical music and books, the safest path seems to be invisibility. For Jordan King, the charismatic ‘cool kid’ with a flair for performance and people, high school is a stage. And for Tyrese Knight, Jordan’s loud and fiercely loyal best mate, Year 7 is just the next chapter in a legacy they built together in primary.
