The West Melton School Year 5-8 choir, led by Moira McKendry and Amanda Haywood, performed at the Christchurch Music Festival last Thursday 15 October in the Town Hall Auditiorium, as part of a large massed school choir. The students sang from the repertoire of songs they have been learning throughout the year, which included When Tomorrow Comes, Kuna Karamu, E Papa Waiari and The Earth We Share. The choir had to learn the lyrics to all the songs, and many of the songs had very challenging rhythms and 'high-eyebrow' notes! Well done to all the students who volunteered to be part of the choir and represent our school at this wonderful music festival. You are great examples of the West Melton Way!
