Mele Fangaloka, Year 11, has successfully auditioned for a new youth choir called Variety Voices. This choir has been recently established by the well-known and highly effective organisation Variety - the Children's Charity.

Mele is one of 42 young people aged between 7-18 years who will come together in Variety Voices; the first rehearsal was held last week.

Zion Faletolou, Year 11, was also offered a place in the choir but unfortunately had to decline due to prior music commitments.
