The last week of Term 2 at the Girls' School was marked by the much-anticipated House Music event, a lively afternoon bursting with House spirit. Girls from each House collaborated across year levels to produce entertaining performances and perfect their chants. The morning was spent rehearsing, filling the school with anticipation before the afternoon show.

Parents joined the audience in the gymnasium as the Houses took turns performing. Speech and Drama Leaders Yiyi Jiang and Ruby Roach MCed the event, revving up the students for some friendly House competition.

Wishart House kicked it off with a polished rendition of Coldplay's ‘Viva la Vida’, featuring lyrics relevant to their school life. Soloists Mofan Yang and Olivia Mu impressed with ‘Fantaisie’ and Schumann's ‘Fantasy’ 1st Movement, respectively.

Next up was Hamilton House, bringing fierce energy with Sia's ‘Unstoppable’ complete with synchronised actions and powerful singing. Their soloists—Breeze Chan with ‘Lightly Row’, Emily Cao playing ‘Seahorses’, and Isobel Horne with ‘Over the Rainbow’—captivated the audience with their skilful performances.

Cargill House followed, ready to rise to the challenge with ‘We're All In This Together’ from High School Musical. Their bright green costumes added vibrancy to their performance, and their dancing, led by animated prefects, stood out. Soloists Bella Chung and Grace Chair delighted with ‘Chanson’ and ‘Polish Dance.’

Chalmers House closed the event with an unforgettable performance of Queen's ‘Don't Stop Me Now’. Their clever use of props and a prefect rap break elicited enthusiastic responses from the audience. Finally, violinist Vienna Li, accompanied by her dad, delivered a stunning rendition of ‘Hoe Down’.

To finish the afternoon, our talented Cultural Leader, Seunghye Chang, played ‘Romanian Folk Dances’​on the violin. The House Music event was a fantastic way to end the term, showcasing the girls' musical talents and House spirit in a fun celebration. As the inaugural edition at our school, we know the girls will be eager to surpass themselves next year.
