Last Thursdsay, several classes from the Junior School competed at the Dalby Eisteddfod in the Verse Speaking sections.

As a whole group, our students performed exceptionally well with some outstanding results recorded.

Mrs Dellit and Mrs O'Brien's Year 1A and 1B classes combined to perform the 'Jellycopter' and received a whopping 92 points to be awarded first place in their section. Adjudicator Felicity Bassingthwaight commented on the beautiful smiling faces of the group that immediately caught her attention. She praised the students for their eye contact and the appropriate choice of verse which was very well performed.

Mrs Cruickshank's 4B Class performed 'Hunting the Not Fair' by John Hepworth in their section for students in Year 4 to 6. The students took out an impressive first place with a massive 94 points. The adjudicator commented on the different voices and the composition of the very long peom which was well recalled and presented. Both 4B and the Year 1A/1B group will perform at the winner's concert next Teusday evening.

Three other classes also performed including 2A/2B with their poem 'The Dinosaur Rap" for which they were awarded 2nd place with 92 points, Year 4/5 perfromed 'The Dentist and the Crocodile' and received a Highly Commended while Year 4A were placed 3rd with the poem 'Sick'. Congratualtions to all the students and their eachers for representing the College to such a high standard in the Verse Speaking.

On Monday, three Instrumental Music students competed in the Instrumental sections at the Dalby Eisteddfod which is the first time we have had competitiors in this area for a very long time. Alyssa Ferguson, Amelia McNaughton and Gabby Banks performed in two duets and although they did not receive a place, they did exceptionally well and produced high quality sound and composition. Well done to these three girls on their debut on the Instrumental stage.
