A huge day continues for the extra 401 students on the Craighead site today, as we once again host twelve of the top choirs from across the South Island for the NZCF Big Sing Cadenza. Their day started at 8am and continues through to 8:30pm tonight.

Saturday begins at (a much more sensible) 10am and concludes with a (sold out) Gala Concert at the Sacred Heart Basilica at 7pm before finishing their night at 11pm!

Over the next two days 49 of our Year 13 students will sit their Comprehensive First Aid certificate here at Craighead. A very valuable skill for them to have! Thank you to Sport Canterbury for coming in to teach our students.
