Melton Star Search

The competition starts soon!

Staughton College’s very own superstars, Amber Gould and Matilda Castovita, will be competing in Melton Star Search. This is a local talent quest open to anyone aged over 7, designed to promote Music and The Arts in The City of Melton. It also gives the community an opportunity to showcase their talents in front of a live audience!

There will be musicians, dancers, jugglers, singers, and other interesting talents on show. With a prize pool valued at over $1000, we can see why Amber and Matilda are ready to give it their best shot. The prize pool also includes gift certificates, free music and dance lessons, as well as recording opportunities with 97.9 FM.

Back in 2015, one of Staughton’s current Music Captains, Sharie May Castillo, won the competition, taking home the grand prize for the senior category with her performance of Christina Aguilera’s ‘Hurt’.

Matilda will be competing in the first heat this Saturday, September 9th and Amber will be competing next Saturday, September 16th. If you want to support the girls, all information is available at http://www.meltonstarsearch.com.au/

We’ve seen some great performances from both Matilda and Amber at the Mid-Year Music Concert this year, so we know they’ve got star power! We wish them both, good luck in the competition!
