Success at Eisteddfod

At the recent highly competitive Secondary School Vocal Ensemble section of the 2022 Toowoomba Eisteddfod, the Fairholme College Chamber Choir was awarded a Highly Commended, the College Choir was awarded Third Place in the Secondary School Choir section, and the Senior Voices were awarded yet another First Place in the Secondary School Modern Voices section, which resulted in Fairholme being presented with The Glennie School Trophy.

Meanwhile, the Fairholme College Middle Voices were awarded Second Place in both their Middle School Vocal Ensemble and Middle School Choir sections!

The Chamber Choir were awarded Second Place for their folk song and the Senior Voices Choir were awarded First Place for both the Hymn and Spiritual sections, which meant that they were awarded the Philharmonic Aggregate Shield.

Head of the Arts, Mrs Karen Hayward, was thrilled with the results. ‘It was a massive weekend for all involved and I wish to particularly acknowledge Alex Dixon, Elizabeth Egan, Christine Lebsanft and Natalie Rawle who have guided, prepared and supported our choirs over many months to achieve such wonderful results,’ Mrs Hayward said.

‘Thank you also to all of the additional staff who attended the Eisteddfod and provided supervision and greatly appreciated support.’
