NZ Secondary Students Choir a success at the Kathaumixw
The NZ Secondary Students Choir has had a great result at Kathaumixw being placed in every section they competed in: 1st in the adult mixed and 2nd in folk and youth sections.
Winning a section entitled them to sing a 12 minute section at the awards concert and they received the only standing ovation of the night for their Maori piece and as a result picked up the people’s choice award.
The College is proud of Henry Hillind's contribution to the overall success of the Choir.
