PERFORMING ARTS
Balaklava Eisteddfod
On the 1st and 2nd of August, the town hosted the 29th Balaklava Eisteddfod, with multiple venues showcasing a wonderful range of vocal, instrumental and band performances, including concert, stage and rock categories.
This year, we were fortunate to take both our Senior Rock Band and Choir to the event. Our Choir performed Seize the Day and Flashlight, earning an impressive 3rd place. The Senior Rock Band also took to the stage, performing Zombie by The Cranberries and Still Into You by Paramore in the Senior ‘B’ Band category. While they didn’t place, their performance was outstanding and gave our Year 12s the chance to live out a memorable dream on stage.
We also wish to extend our congratulations to three of our students who contributed behind the scenes: Isabelle Poole for assisting with announcing the Rock Band sections on Friday, Charli Dall for helping with the check-in process at the Balaklava Uniting Church, and Caitlin McLean for accompanying Balaklava Primary School during their performances.





From the Vineyards to the Plains
As some of you might have seen on Facebook, we are welcoming Nuriootpa High School (NHS) for their annual music tour on September 3rd. Our Senior music students will be participating in a workshop with the NHS band from recess until the end of the day. To help celebrate this and make Nuriootpa feel the love of Balaklava we are putting on a concert! The concert will be held at the Balaklava Town Hall from 5:30pm.
