CONGRATULATIONS
On Sunday 25 June, Grace Bawden from Year 8 belted out 'Don't Rain on my Parade' by Barbara Streisand at an audition for a solo support act in the Catholic Schools' Music Festival. Grace's unique vocal talents touched the hearts of the judges. In addition, Grace recently received two gold and two silver medals in the Balaklava Eisteddfod.
