Student Achievements

The children of Kalinda have many wonderful talents, achievements and hobbies. If your child has recently celebrated an achievement of some sort we would love to hear about it! Maybe they have broken a record at Little Athletics, earned a new belt in Karate, been selected for a choir or dance group, or been awarded a special badge in Cubs, Scouts or Guides. Whatever the accomplishment, please send details (and photos if possible) to hopkins.lauren.d@edumail.vic.gov.au or chat to Lauren Hopkins (Assistant Principal) because we would really like to share their achievements here!

Dancing their way to the top.

Cherry-May C, Ayda H and Evie L all attended Albury Wodonga Eisteddford last weekend where along with their fellow highland dancers they represented Madderty Highland Dancing and competed against other dancers from around Victoria and New South Wales. They all danced beautifully and challenged themselves dancing against competitors they have not faced before.

Cherry-May came first in Highland Laddie and Sailors Hornpipe, second in Swords, Lilt and Jig, third in Flora, and also got the pre-premier judges choice award! Ayda danced six dances against competitors who were between 14 and 25 years old, dancing beautifully. Evie danced in her third competition ever and competed against five other girls starting their highland dancing careers.

All girls did beautifully and showed support and encouragement to the other Madderty dancers.
