Congratulations Randwick Park School choir, Psamony

Last Wednesday evening, the spotlight shone brightly on our very own Randwick Park School choir, Psamony, as they took to the stage at the Kids Sing Choral Competition Gala Showcase held at the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Parnell. The audience was treated to a truly unforgettable display of talent and the heartfelt spirit that embodies our remarkable community. Our choir was awarded gold for their performance along with the prestigious Adjudicator’s Award, making our school and community immensely proud.

A huge thanks to our Choir Director Rev. Ieremia Amituana’i Amani for sharing his gift with our children and molding their voices into an incredible sound of soulful harmonies filling us with so much joy. Along with the talented accompanist Seumanu Simon Matãfai and Mr Sala’a Lologa our choir has won the following awards over the years under their tutelage:

2017 – Silver

2017 – Adjudicators Award

2019 – Gold

A message from our Principal, Ms Karen McMurray

As Term 3 draws to a close we want to thank you for your continued support of our kura. It has been an extremely busy term with our tamariki being given a variety of learning experiences both within class and beyond. Thank you to all of our staff:kaiako, learning assistants, admin, and grounds personnel for all you do to support these opportunities be it directly with our students or behind the scenes ensuring all our programmes go to plan. Once again we had an excellent response to our Te Hui Ako last week. Thank you for the support you give your son/daughter in celebrating their learning. Wishing you all an enjoyable two weeks and we look forward to welcoming everyone back for our
final term for 2023
