Congratulations to Jonny Hurn, Hayden Richardson, Leon Philipsen, Matt Steele and Cindy Xia. Jonny was placed in the Top 20 in the 2009 Play It Strange Songwriting competition for his song, 'Who am I'. Jonny won a $500 NZ Rockshop credit, a recording session, and his song will appear on the 2009 Play It Strange CD that will come out later in the year.
Hayden Richardson will be off to Christchurch the next school break as he has been offered a place as part of the 2009 New Zealand Secondary Schools Brass Band. Matt Steele and cultural captain, Leon Philipsen, have both successfully auditioned as members of 2009 New Zealand Youth Jazz Orchestra, which will be rehearsing and performing over the second week of October. During the last school break Cindy Xia competed in the Hutt Valley Music Competition, gaining four 1st's, including one for her NCEA Level 1 composition 'Moth', one 2nd, and she won the scholarship for 16 years and over.

Way to go guys! It's so fantastic to hear about these students doing such wonderful things. I feel a bit of pride reading this - strange considering I only taught them as an intern teacher for 4 months, 3 years ago! Still, fabulous job guys. Cheers from Canada!
