On Friday 14th August Diamond Valley College competed in the Rock Eisteddfod heats at Hisense Arena. This was a fantastic colourful and thought-provoking performance which portrayed aspects of greed and corruption in society through the adaptation of some of the best known fairy tales. Our Rocka team managed to overcome a couple of hurdles, including an injury during the rehearsal, to earn praise from the judges for all aspects of the performance. Unfortunately we have just missed out on going through to the finals. Nevertheless, tremendous thanks must go to the members of staff, parents and especially students who have worked very hard over many months on the sets, costumes, music and dance that all make up the Rock Eisteddfod performance
