Congratulations to Year 13 student Olivia Fleming who has been selected to be part of the NZ Secondary Students' Choir for 2015 and 2016. Every second year, approximately 60 students are selected through nationwide auditions to join the choir for a two year cycle. They gather every school holidays for intensive rehearsals and public performances, at the end of which the choir will plan to attend an international festival or competition. In 2010 at the International Choral Kathaumixw, Canada, the choir was awarded the People's Choice Award, first place in Adult Mixed Choir and second place in both Youth Choir and Folk and Cultural Traditions categories. |
