- Older more advanced students who partisipate in the Jack In The Box Music program are encouraged to help younger students with performances and in the learning process.
- The End Of Year: Held outside of school hours so more parents, relatives and friends can attend. The end of year also has a story read out along with the music and hence gives the program its name, "Learning In Context"
- Jack In The Box Music students have performed have performed at Mayoral functions for the City Of Kingston, outside shopping centers and at the Mordialloc Fine Food Wine and Music By the Bay Festival. These performances are open to those students who practice hard and fit into the strict criteria of a minimum performance standard.
