Renfrewshire Association of Burns Clubs Competition
Once again, we were successful at the Robert Burns World Federation Schools Competition. Three pupils from Primary 7 enjoyed their day at the annual Renfrewshire Association of Burns Clubs (RABC) competitions run by the Robert Burns World Federation. Leo McCarrey, having addressed the haggis at our school Burns supper in January, delivered a fine recitation again, narrowly missing a medal. Sophie Inglis played ‘Loch Lomond’ beautifully on the piano and gained second place while Aidan Lau impressed the adjudicators with an amazing performance of ‘Shetland Fiddler’ on the piano. He won a gold medal and the overall winners’ cup and will go forward to the National competition in May where we are sure he will astound judges with his musical talent.
School Choir
Congratulations to our fantastic choir for their performances at the Glasgow Music Festival on Monday. They were ranked 4th place in the Hymn Singing Class and 3rd place with a First Class Certificate in the Scots Song class. Adjudicators commented on the two and three part harmonies and the expression that was evident in their voices. Well done!
