Wesley College

Friday 1st & Saturday 2nd March 2019

Congratulations to all of the soloists, bands, choirs and instrumental ensembles who participated in the Wesley Interschools Music Festival last Friday and Saturday. Each student performed with aplomb and acquitted themselves to a standard of which they should be very proud.

On a busy weekend with many boys involved with multiple competitions, a special mention goes to the following, who were awarded a prize from their competitions, that become increasingly difficult to win each year.
