Students from years 3 to 6 had the opportunity

to audition for the annual school talent quest.

We had over 60 auditions from some very

talented students.

The final 12 acts were put to the test in front of a

live audience last Thursday afternoon.

Acts included dance, vocalist, instruments,

modelling/dance, Jaiho and Nerd Heard. The

students were very excited to perform in front of

our special guests Her Royal Highness, Queen

Julie and Prince David.

There was an amazing array of talent from

students who have outside of school tuition right

through to students who got together in the

playground and choreographed their own items.

It was a fantastic event to watch. We wish to

thank Mrs Teakle and Mrs Cole for organising

the auditions. A big thank you to our judges Mrs

Berry, Mrs Whittle and Luke Mitchell.

To all the students that participated, well done!

HRH Queen Julie and Prince David
