“Thank you to all the parents, staff and members of the community who assisted with the Eisteddfod; because of your efforts our students got the chance to shine and share their talents.”
Student reflections on the Taree and District Eisteddfod
“I attended the eisteddfod and I am proud of the results. The eisteddfod can be a little frightening but is a good chance to build up confidence and make new friends, plus Macca’s is a bonus!” – Olivia Smith, year 7.
“On Thursday I went to the eisteddfod with our debating team, which includes Olivia, Georgia, Olivia and I. t was pretty cool to a part of a team. At the Eisteddfod we didn’t quite win but it was a really fun experience,” – Sophia Stubbs, year 7.
“This year I went to the Taree Eisteddfod; it was awesome! We learnt a lot from the day and also had some fun. Standing up on stage speaking wasn’t that bad because you couldn’t see anything because of the lights,” – Harry Cole, year 8.
“My experience at the eisteddfod was definitely unusual. I participated in public speaking, Australian verse solo, debating and impromptu reading. There were a lot of late nights and many nerves, I got through them without having a meltdown. I enjoyed it and would like to thank everyone who made this possible,” – Seleana Murphy, year 8.
“Debating at the Taree Eisteddfod was a learning experience for all involved. We learnt how to work as a team and improve on our speaking. I think my favourite part was on the way home; we listened to music and had snacks … fun times!” - Bianca Clarke, year 9.
