On Tuesday 14th August 2018 a group of our Year 5&6 students, along with 15 other Auckland primary school choirs, participated in the Kids Sing competition at Auckland Town Hall, held by the New Zealand Choral Foundation.
During the afternoon our choir, led by Mrs Mountjoy, sang three competition numbers: Ka Waiata Kia Maria, I’se The B’y and Three Fine Ships. In the evening, many parents and friends came along to the gala performance featuring many of the schools, including St John’s.
Our wonderful choir was awarded a Silver certificate for their performance and our very own Mrs Mountjoy won the Conductor’s Professional Development Award, a high accolade recognising her talent and potential as a conductor.
So richly deserved. We are so proud of you all!
Thank you for writing such a detailed account, it was truly a privilege to be at The Town Hall and hear our amazing choir on Tuesday.
