ABODA

We are incredibly proud of the achievements of all our ensembles last week at the ABODA SA Band and Orchestra Festival. In total, our school earned eight Gold Awards and three Silver Awards across various categories.
A special mention goes to the Junior School ensembles, each of which received a Gold Award and was named the overall section winner in their respective categories. Congratulations also to Year 12 student Johnny (WDK), who received the Don Burrows Memorial Award for Best Emerging Improviser for the second year in a row.
A big well done to everyone involved — this is an outstanding accomplishment.
