Every year Sancta Maria College has their own talent quest and 2019 is no different. So many different acts performed and each one was watched carefully by our 4 judges, Miss Smith, Mr Bacon, Mr McKie and former student Helen Pahulu. There was beatboxing, comedy and a lot of singing. But there could only be one winner – Marina Jones and Aloyze Tafu who sang a beautiful song mashup of Illusion, Apple of My Eye and I Don’t Wanna Talk About It.
Other entrants included:
Tara Andersen – who sang ‘Someone like you’, by Adele
Paolo Lecias, Em-J Abuyan and Bernadette Tominiko – MJ and Bernadette sang amazingly while Paolo played the piano
The Basketball Boys – gave a hilarious comedy act
Akshita Ann-Joby, Roya Jin Mannaparambil and Anna Sajan – did an amazing Indian cultural and k-pop dance
Jan Baldonado – did some awesome break dancing
Jason – showed us his beatboxing talent
Joseph Milsom – sang a slowed down version of ‘Crazy in Love’, by Beyoncé
While waiting for the results, prefects, Maurice De Jesus, Tahlisa Stevens, David Patlong, Kelly Mascarenhas, Johnny Elboutty and Aislinn Manuyag gave a performance full of laughter and fun. They sang and danced! They also re-created the famous “Celine Dion Titanic scene”. Ex-student, Helen Pahulu, also gave a wonderful performance. She once again wowed us with her beautiful voice.
After those two performances, the results finally came in and the judge’s made their decision:
3rd place: Paolo, Em-J and Bernadette
2nd place: Akshita, Anna and Roya
And the winner of SMC’s Talent Quest 2019: Marina and Aloyze!!!
This year’s talent quest was a huge success! It was an event full of laughter, fun and entertainment.
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this event and a massive thank you to all the students and teachers who made Talent Quest 2019 possible.
