Over the weekend a number of Columba Students competed in the Dunedin City Vocal Competition here in Dunedin.

There were 70 children from Dunedin, Timaru and Christchurch involved over a very long enjoyable weekend with lots of wonderful singing. Our girls did extremely well, placing in all categories and taking out some of the top awards. Congratulations to all involved.
