This weekend, we had five teams attend Ryde Eisteddfod with incredible results from both the junior and senior eisteddfod teams!

Junior

Our Year 5 teams once again lit up the stage with their original comedic pieces. Mystery Man was awarded first place with their piece centring dramatic flare and secret admirers. The Crown, presented by the second Year 5 group was presented third place for their wonderful performance of a prom night gone wrong. Year 6 were the final group to compete, awarded second place for their piece Behind Closed Doors, uncovering the mystery of what really happened at the school 50 years ago when some girls went missing.

The Year 8 team’s The Jester’s Gambit, telling the story of women disguised as men competing to make the King laugh incorporating clever movement and physical comedy, was awarded first place. The Year 7 group performed The Mystery of The Marriage Murder, a haunting piece about a bride who is murdered.
