Sydney Eisteddfod

Congratulations to all ensembles for their performances at the Sydney Eisteddfod over the last couple of weeks. Some more results:

  • Jazz Band came First in their section last week!
  • Concert Band was awarded Highly Commended - a great result!
  • Junior Band played amazingly - well done!
  • Senior Concert Band also sounded fantastic; results are not available at time of writing.

Thank you to Mr Coombes and the school staff who took the students to the Eisteddfod performances. Thank you to all the parent volunteers who transported instruments, went on the train with the students and came along to watch and cheer. Performing is a great experience for the students and can only happen with your support.
