Eisteddfod News

Well done to all our performers over the last few weeks, whether you have been performing dance, speech and drama or music you all represented yourselves and your school to the highest degree. It takes huge COMMITMENT to prepare for such events, COURAGE to stand up on stage and RESILIENCE to keep on striving to better yourselves each year. Congratulations to everyone that took part.

 

Prep Band: competed in the Junior Bands section along with 14 others school groups and although they did not receive a place, our young players represented the school extremely well and played their tricky piece with great enthusiasm. Mrs McRae was extremely proud of their efforts. 

Percussion Ensemble: the ingenuity and flexibility of this group shone through again in their performance of ‘Classroom Chaos’ which involved chairs, exam tables and pencils! The adjudicator appreciated their originality and ensemble work and awarded them First Place in this section, much to the delight the students and Mrs Sinclair and was a testament to the progression they have made as a group this year.

Prep Six Strings: competed in the Junior Instrumental section and despite being up against a fantastic array of bands and instrumental ensembles, they won their section, much to their great delight! Mrs Sinclair was extremely proud of the way they played on the day and also delighted with their achievements.

Prep Strings: gave a magnificent and polished performance of ‘March of the Czar’ to take out First Place in the Junior String Group section which is another fabulous achievement for our players, not to mention Mrs Moxey who has won this section with various groups for the last 14 years. A truly incredible result and testament to the expertise and passion of Mrs Moxey’s teaching.  Congratulations to all.

String Concert - 6 September

Congratulations to all our ensembles that performed in our String Concert. We were treated to a wonderful afternoon of music from all our strings players, from Junior Strings through to Chamber strings. The display of talent was an example of what wonderfully talented tutors and students we have at KWS.

Thank you to all students for their hard work and commitment over the last term, it’s certainly been a busy one. Enjoy your holiday and we look forward to seeing you again in Term 4.
