The Lincoln University Trip

Last week the lucky year seven and eights got the oppurtunity to go to Lincoln University and do some fitness testing. These tests involved crunches, planks, press ups, the much hated Beep Test, the Agility sprints and many other tricky and tiring tests! All the students worked really hard and pushed themselves to the limit, many of the students woke up with aching bodies the next day! Well done everyone! These people did especially well:

Orchestras Combine

The Westburn School Orchestra were lucky enough to play with one of New Zealand's best school orchestras- Burnside High School.
This afternoon (5Th November) was a primary schools showcase concert- Pupils from various local schools came to the Auroa Centre (Performing Arts Centre at Burnside High School) to hear us and Burnside Highs orchestra play. Westburn performed Capriaio Italiien, written by Tschaikowsky, with the High School Orchestra under the Baton of Mrs Helen Renaud (Head of music at the high school).
Pupils from the several schools definitely enjoyed the one piece the orchestras played together, and performers certainly enjoyed performing it!


(Look out for the video of the performance soon!)
