A night celebrating Cultural Students
What a superb evening we had celebrating Marsden's 2019 Cultural Awards in the last week of Term 3. A night dedicated to recognising the many talents and varied achievements of students across the cultural aspects of the school. While acknowledging cultural excellence, commitment and service we also thanked our volunteers for their valuable contribution to culture at Marsden.
Guests were treated to performances from our award winning choir Altissime, the brilliant Kapa Haka girls, as well as individual students, and then it was time for the formal part of the evening, the presentation of Cups, Colours and Certificates of High Achievement and Service.
Principal Narelle Umbers, Chair of Marsden Management Board Cheryl Middelkoop, Old Girls' President Jo Prescott, Jennifer Evans and Kim New were honoured guests and helped make the following presentations:
