Walter Kirby Results 2026
Our theatre was once again full on Tuesday night for the 90th Walter Kirby Competition. A large and enthusiastic audience enjoyed an outstanding evening of performances from students in Years 7–13. The programme featured a wide variety of vocal and instrumental solos, duets, and group items, showcasing the depth of musical talent within our school. The audience was captivated by the high standard of performances throughout the evening.
Our judge for the competition was former Head of Music, Delysse Glynn. We are grateful to Delysse for sharing her expertise and insights with our performers.
Thank you also to our Music Prefects and senior students who did an amazing job both as MCs for the night, as well as working backstage, and, as is the case every year, our incredible group of parents who provided food and refreshments.
