In addition, our Senior Girls Choir won the Choir competition with their polished rendition of With Or Without You closely pipping our Senior Mixed Choir’s performance of Seasons Of Love. Phoebe Rennie won the Composer competition, DGCAC (Gabby Liandu, Robyn Durnford, Chris Egan, Ali Jasem & Callum Haggarty) won the Rock Band Competition and Senior Saxophones (William Caley, Marc Kalis, Bassam Al Alawi amd Raoul D’Souza) won the Ensemble Competition. It was a stunning effort and a well-deserved set of results from our young musical performers.

Our Junior Choir, ‘Souls of singing’ gave a fantastic rendition of Building by Richard Stilgoe. Year 4 students said afterwards, that they really enjoyed the experience. It was a fantastic effort. Well done to everyone who took part and a huge ‘Thank You’ goes to everyone involved for making this such a successful event for St Christopher’s School.
