Welcome to the latest edition of Purcell’s Weekly Highlights!
Lower School Composition Competition 2020
On Wednesday morning, Purcell’s Composition Department hosted the much-anticipated and appropriately socially-distanced Oscar’s Ceremony for the Lower School Composition Competition 2020 (affectionately known as Comp Comp). Amongst the many awards presented, was the highly coveted Gold Trophy for the Overall Winner which went to last year’s Year 6 students Maya, April and Gabriella, with a special mention for Octavia who has now left the school.
In a change from recent years, the Composition Competition was judged on the excellent work produced and performed online during lockdown.
