Two years of Covid resulted in the cancellation of the annual Anglican Schools Corporation Choral Festival.
This year we were pleased to be able to again participate in the event hosted by Penrith Anglican College. The students had been preparing for the event for all of Term 2 and are commended for their efforts. The Junior Choir consisting of students from Years 3-6 performed ‘Heal the World’ and ‘Holy, Holy, Holy’ and the Senior Vocal Group consisting of students from Years 7-10 performed ‘Man in the Mirror’ and ‘Angus Dei/How Great Thou Art’.
The students represented Thomas Hassall well in their performances and were able to watch the other schools perform their repertoire gaining valuable knowledge and experience.
Well done to both of these groups for their performances.
Here is what some of our Year 5 students had to say:
“I loved singing in the auditorium at Penrith Anglican College. I really enjoyed listening to the other choirs singing too”
“I liked how we all got on the stage and smiled when we were singing.”
“We made friends at lunchtime with people from other schools.”
“The sound check was really fun!”
“It was a joy to be on stage, representing Thomas Hassall”
