SHOALHAVEN EISTEDDFOD RESULTS | We have had some excellent results at the City of Shoalhaven Eisteddfod! Our choral groups performed in strong field of competitors. The Chamber Choir placed 2nd for their performance of What Was I Made For? and 500 Miles, closely followed by the College Choir who placed 3rd for their performance of Joyful Joyful and Enjoy The Storm. The Stage 5 elective Dance classes successfully competed in the High School Dance section. The Year 9 elective Dance class placed 2nd, performing a Modern dance routine as an exploration of modern dance pioneers and their techniques. Finally, the Year 10 elective Dance class placed 1st, performing a Broadway Jazz routine as an extension of their study of New York, a city immersed in the arts, including a study of iconic dance companies and organisation. Congratulations to all our performing arts students!
