Chaffey Secondary College
Jade BENHAM (Mildura) (10:19): Chaffey Secondary College invited me last week to attend Chaffey’s Pride: Melodies in Motion. It was a showcase at Mildura Arts Centre, and my mind was blown. As a drama and music student whose ambition and enthusiasm far outweighed any ability or talent that I had, I was floored and filled with joy at the extraordinary talent of these young people. When Leni took the stage to perform her vocal solo, I wept and sobbed, and I had goosebumps. It was incredible. You could have been forgiven for thinking you were at an Adele gig. The bands, the duets and the 9/10 hip-hop group were just outstanding. The talent, which is supported by the incredible staff at Chaffey College, is just spectacular, and they are so fortunate to have a program where these students thrive. So thank you.
