This term’s Soirée was an exceptional evening with students
from all grades performing solos as well as in ensembles.
The evening started with a moving rendition of a ‘Million
Dreams’ by the Vocal Ensemble and ended with the Grade
10 Ensemble’s rousing performance of ‘Come Together’.
The solo performances were of a very high standard and
included piano, clarinet, violin, flute, sax, vocals and guitar.
The Matric Ensemble performed a lively version of their
Grade 12 set work ‘Meadowlands’ and the Guitar Ensemble
mesmerised the audience with the sound of twelve guitars
and two ukuleles, playing the theme from the Bond movies,
under the expert guidance of Mr. Russell Stirling.
The Crawford College Lonehill Design Department is excited
to announce that their students, Jordyn Swart, Laura Silversten,
Michaela Neophytou, Riccardo Veiga, Linda Qin and Kayuri
Moodley were placed as the runner-up team in the Vega Vibe
Design Challenge for the Johannesburg region. The brief was to
create one new product for Paul’s Homemade Ice Cream and then
choose to either redesign the packaging for this new product in
an innovative and exciting way to be carried across all products, or
to redesign the in-store freezers for this new product to be more
exciting. Our students redesigned the packaging for a new flavour
of ice cream that was both innovative and creative, resulting in this
accolade. Each student received a R500 voucher and the school a
R3 000 voucher. We are very proud of our Design students!
