Gledhill’s Spring Concert

Anyone at this evening’s Spring Concert knows that Gledhill students have serious musical talent! We are all very proud of the emcees, choir members, ukulele players, band members, classrooms and extraordinary supporting musicians who performed to a very appreciative audience. 

Special thanks to all of the teachers who helped to keep groups of anxious students waiting in classrooms throughout the school for their turn to shine on stage. Band teacher Ross Wooldridge, piano accompanist Ali Vawser and, of course, Ms O’Gorman, Ms Bailey and Mr McBride deserve a special note of thanks for their dedication and inspiration to our children.
