PYP Big Sing

By Mr Nick Martin, Assistant Head of Junior School Learning and Teaching

This past week, our talented Songsters choir students proudly represented Radford College at the Primary Years Programme (PYP) Big Sing event - a day-long celebration of music and collaboration between PYP schools across the ACT. Held in the spirit of community, creativity and joy, the event brought together young singers from different schools to rehearse and perform a range of choral repertoire.

Throughout the day, students engaged in collaborative workshops, developing their vocal skills, musicality and confidence. The event culminated in a heartwarming concert, where the combined choirs performed for an enthusiastic audience.

Beyond the music, the day was a powerful expression of the International Baccalaureate philosophy - nurturing international-mindedness, building relationships across communities and promoting the arts as a vital form of expression and connection. The PYP Big Sing highlighted the value of shared experiences and the joy that comes from creating something beautiful together.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Junior School Music Teacher, Ms Bronwyn Potter, for supporting our students so passionately, and to Songsters Conductor, Ms Greta Claringbould, for her inspiring leadership.

It was a day of harmony in every sense - musical, social and philosophical.
