Arts Cup

Thursday the 6th of September saw the annual Arts Cup take place in the school hall. This year we had 8 acts battle it out for the places.  The auditions were held 3 weeks prior and saw 12 acts perform, with 5 acts progressing directly to the finals.  Battle rounds took place over two weeks with the large numbers of students in attendance and voting for their favourite acts to be represented in the final show.

The final line up saw an eclectic mix of acts.  Singers, dancers, aerobics, bands, piano players and even a national level aerial rings performance. The Judges of Monkey and The Big Fella along with Ms Miller and Ms Lumsden had some tough decisions to make as the line up was one of the best seen so far in the event.

The Final places were awarded to – 1st Renya and Michael Rubia. Equal 2nd was awarded to, band Flint & Stone equal with the Duo of Patrick and Niamh Howard.  While equal 3rd was given to Holli Hoggan and Flinn Stratford for their solo performances.

We would like to thank Dale Cleves Music for their generous donations of prizes, Lachi Rooke for his MC skills and Matthew Monk and Matthew Stewart for their judging.

Also on the day, the SEA Team held their annual out of uniform and BBQ fundraiser.  The theme of the day was crazy socks and beanies.  A BBQ lunch was organised and the money raised from the day as well as from selling crazy socks, will be used to fund student initiative projects around the school.
