The CMNZ competition (Otago regionals) were held on the evening of Friday June 10. Due to covid there were far fewer entries than normal, but once again LPHS achieved some impressive results.

Year 9 student Ozan Biner-McGrath, performing with two students from elsewhere (as the Pancake Squad), won this regional competition with a stunning performance of a Menotti trio.

Cornish Pasties (Zoe Barton, Callum Fotheringham and James Hurley) were one of two Highly Commended acts, performing a trio by NZ composer Alfred Hill.
