Our Senior School College assemblies feature a wide selection of performances from our talented musicians.
Last week, we had a very special presentation from 40 Year 7 students, playing a drumming piece called ‘MORIBAYASSA’. Year 7 have been studying African music and culture, and Moribayassa was their focus piece for assessment, which features multiple rhythms on various African percussion and a fun chant too. The piece is a traditional song and dance performed in North-west Africa when a woman has overcome an illness or her problems have been solved, which also tied in nicely with celebrations of International Women’s Day.
The other performance featured Evelyn Kilic from Year 12, singing ‘Part of Your World’ from the Little Mermaid. This is also one of her HSC assessment pieces, and she was accompanied by Mrs Hobbins on piano.
It has also been exciting for our assemblies to have a small live audience now, whilst still being streamed to other students around the College. Thanks to all those performers and the tech crew for making these opportunities possible for our students.
