Our choirs must be congratulated for their performances at the Big Sing regional competition last Wednesday.

Both the Otago Girls' High School Choir and the Otago Girls' and Otago Boys' High School Combined Choir received highly commended awards for their performances. Sarah Hubbard was awarded the Student Conductor award and we look forward to the announcement of the top 24 choirs for the National Finale later this month. The choirs would like to thank their director Mr Ben Madden, and accompanist Miss Olivia Pike, for all their hard work preparing the choirs for the competition.
