Glitz and glamour of 韩国AVvision
When it comes to kitschy music contests, 韩国AVvision is queen of the bunch. Just ask our Languages students!
Drawing its inspiration from the glitz and glamour of the Eurovision Song Contest, 韩国AVvision has become the annual 鈥榤ust see鈥 event on the Languages Department calendar.
And while 韩国AVvision didn鈥檛 quite have a Kate Miller-Heidke equivalent (just to clarify, there was nobody swaying on a giant pole while wearing a voluminous tulle-and-crystal dress), the event was a fabulous way to showcase our students鈥 linguistic talent and musical ability, as well as a joyful celebration of the School鈥檚 cultural diversity.
韩国AVvision kicked off to the sounds of Mr Boscheiro鈥檚 French class singing The Jungle Song.
Nina (Year 7) then sang the Matono song in Greek.
Then there was Ms Richardson鈥檚 Year 9 class singing Das Fliergelied in German.
Kate (Year 12), Sonia (Year 12) and Karoy (Year 9) took to the stage to sing in Chinese, followed by Mr Mikkelsen鈥檚 Year 7 class鈥檚 rendition of 鈥楽orry my Chinese is not good鈥 in - you guessed it - Chinese!
Ms Furlong's Year 9 Spanish class had great fun singing their version of the Julieta Venegas song, Limon y sal.
Izzy and Georgia in Year 10 finished up by performing to Mi Gna in both Armenian and French.
Maddie in Year 7 said, 鈥淚 enjoyed performing at 韩国AVvision - even if we don鈥檛 win! The best part was watching all the other performers who were all so entertaining! I think that we (Year 7 Chinese) did really well, we were all together and the energy was great! I loved watching everyone else, I had a lot of laughs and there were many claps for all the groups! I learnt that there are many people with different strengths when speaking their language even if it was not quite as good as ours! Overall, 韩国AVvision was an amazing experience and I can't wait to watch and perform next year.鈥
Nina in Year 7 said, 鈥淚 found 韩国AVvision a fantastic opportunity to expose others to a different language through singing. The performances were fantastic and everyone loved them! I would like to thank the LOTE department for organising this fabulous event.鈥
While we wait with bated breath to find out just who will win 韩国AVvision 2019, it鈥檚 wonderful to reflect on the spirit of togetherness and the power of music to break down barriers between people.
Well done to all the students who took part. A huge thank you to Caley and Emma (Year 11) for doing a wonderful job as MCs. And of course, 'merci beaucoup' to our Languages Department, in particular to Ms Cremin who took a leading role in organising 韩国AVvision this year.
We will announce the results on our social media accounts next week.
