Our annual House Singing Competition took place this week with all of Year 7 taking to the stage in the Auditorium. As part of our unit Sing Up the learners have been celebrating singing. For many this has taken them out of their comfort zone, taking risks and building confidence to perform in front of others. In class they have been working on creating a good vocal tone, reading musical vocal scores, singing partner songs and learning to sing in harmony. Songs such as 'Stand by Me', 'Never wanna give you up' and various funny warm ups have kept us entertained in class before we began working towards our 'Disney' themes songs for the competition.

Each class selected and prepared a song with their music teacher based on the 'Disney' theme. The event was judged by special guests Ms Sarah, Ms Stephanie, Mr Michael and Ms Kimberly all bringing their music expertise and knowledge of our Year 7 learners to the table.

All classes performed with energy and enthusiasm the afternoon was a huge success and it was wonderful to see parents and other classes/teachers come down to watch and join in the fun. Although classes are mixed houses everyone participating gained some valuable house points, those that sang solo's got some extra bonus points and 3rd, 2nd and 1st places gained even more house points!

A lovely afternoon was topped off not only by celebrating 7R  who won this years competition with their spectacular rendition of 'Little Mermaids, Under the Sea' but with the whole of Year 7 coming together in song and performing as a year group.

Thank you to everyone involved and a huge congratulations to 7R who also receive a pizza party to celebrate their success!!!

Last week Nexus hosted the Singapore round of the World Scholar's Cup competition, and our learners truly excelled in this celebration of learning and alpacas (if you know, you know).

Our learners participated in the debate, creative writing and a bowl event where they had to work together to answer questions on this year's theme of "reconstructing the past". The ability to work as a team, apply knowledge and find creative ways to express ideas was key to success, and the Nexus participants really outdid themselves.

We are incredibly proud of our Nexus learners for their outstanding achievements in this year's World Scholar's Cup. Their success is a testament to their exceptional talent, intellect, and the support that they received from their teachers and parents. We hope to see even more members of the Nexus community contribute to this event when it returns next year.
