Head of music and choir conductor Lindy van der Meulen said, “Our history of success with our choirs has been exceptional and I want to say to our 51 girls and five staff, thank you for representing both our school and South Africa with such excellence, passion, and pride.

“Your hard work, dedication, and love of music have truly paid off, and these results are a wonderful reflection of your talent and commitment.”

In 2018 St Mary’s choir was crowned World Champions in Scenic Folklore at the World Choir Games in Tshwane in South Africa and in 2023 they were awarded Gold and Silver medals at the World Choir Games in South Korea.

“So, to return victorious in 2026 with first and second and the Winners Medal has been a dream come true for both our Tour Choir and our entire music department,” said the choir conductor.
