Young Musician of the Year and PIPS Concert

Young Musician of the Year

Recently we celebrated our Young Musician of the Year Award winners in a special assembly about taking risks and getting involved in things that might be outside your comfort zone.  We were extremely pleased that 51 of our students pushed themselves, took a risk and entered the competition. We were delighted to announce the winners in our special press release early June however we had a further surprise at the same time when the 2^nd & 3^rd place winners were announced and we had a further 3 students receiving awards!

2^nd Yelsey Wong – 7-10 Piano

2^nd Xing Ning Tan – 11-14 Strings

3^rd Sarah Qistina – 11-14 Woodwind

This is the third year of the competition and the third year running that Tina (Sarah Qistina) has received a placing. We are very proud of all our students that took a risk and entered this competition.

June 2^nd PIPS Concert

On Friday June 2^nd the Primary assembly was taken over with the sound of music as the PIPs teachers came down with their students to give a concert to the rest of the primary school and some parents.

There were performances from the brass groups, flute groups, clarinet ensembles, violins, violas and cellos and sometimes a mix of instruments too.  It was clear the students had all worked very hard and enjoyed it very much.  The newest class 4E stole the show demonstrating wonderful controlled playing after only 4 weeks of lessons. It was great to see the hard work from the PIPs lessons showcased like this and we look forward to seeing more of their work in concert next year.
