House Singing

During the last week of the first term, Wellington launched a House Singing Competition, consisting of the four houses from both the Junior and Senior School As the wheel of fate spins, each house got a Christmas carol that they need to perform Benson got Jingle Bells, Stanley got the song Run Run Rudolph, Wellesley sang I wish it could be Christmas every day, and Apsley got the song Rocking around the Christmas tree Each house only had 3 days to rehearse before their performance. Everyone contributed to sing, dance, and make props as we gave our all. Even after the very close competition, with every house giving such a beautiful, energetic performance, there could be only one winner As more amazing performances by students and staffs went on, the judges decided which house did the best Cheers broke out in the theatre as the judges announced Apsley to be the winner!
