READ NOWYear 5 student Chloe Chang won the Primary Instrumental Solo Shield for her performance on classical guitar and will perform again in the final concert at the Perth Concert Hall.
She will be joined by the school’s dance group, who won the Primary Dance Group category, despite it being the first year the school had entered in the category.
Music co-ordinator Sarah Draper said the school was proud of the musical culture it had built.
“Music is such an important component of children’s education and we are very lucky at Orana that we have a flourishing and successful programme that is valued by the whole school community,” she said.
“We have a great team of instrumental tutors that work very hard to bring out the best in the students.
“Most importantly, we want the music experiences at Orana to be enjoyable and create lots of great memories for the kids.”
