College Staff vs Student Lip Sync Battle

Yes, College Has Got Talent!

Following this week’s assembly, any disagreement over this assertion is ended.  The College Year 12 Team and the College Staff Team took to the stage to demonstrate their incredible acting, dancing and miming in the annual lip-sync battle, which, according to Deputy Principal Waldron, has been a College fixture since 1854!  

We have Mr Neil Maclean, College Historian, looking into this remarkable claim, but in the true spirit of the lip-sync battle and other current world competitions, let us not cloud the theatre of the spectacular with mere truth.  College will demonstrate more of its talent as we progress next week through wellness week, culminating with the grand final of talent, College Has Got Talent! But wait, there’s more.  Right on the heels of CHGT we will launch every senior school student and many staff onto the stage for House Music 2025, ‘Pitch Perfect’.  It was a great delight to tune in to the great Rampaging Roy Slaven and HG Nelson during the recent Olympics, and as a nod to their incredible wit (talent), we dub this the remaining weeks of Term 3, with all these spectacular demonstrations of talent, the ‘Festival of College Spirit (the boot)”.  See you all there for the big game.
