Mweshipandeka hits the high notes
Singing is more than just a performance; it's a celebration of expression, creativity and pride.
Mweshipandeka Senior Secondary School, known for its remarkable musical talent, embraced this art form by hosting an internal singing competition on 28 March 2025. The competition centred around two key performances, the school anthem and the Oshana Region inspirational song.
The primary goal of this competition was to foster a deeper connection between the learners and the school anthems, encouraging them to learn and take pride in the songs that symbolise their school spirit. Each class was tasked with performing both pieces, and the participants were eager to showcase their hard work and musical abilities.
Preparation and anticipation
The competitors, representing various grades, put significant effort into perfecting their performances. The tension was palpable as the participants rehearsed tirelessly, knowing that their skills would be tested in front of an eager audience.
The judging panel, which included Mr. Shonena, Ms Kayambu, and Ms Simeon, had a tough task ahead. Each class brought its best to the stage, making the judges' decision difficult. Their role was crucial in selecting the winners based on vocal talent, harmony and overall presentation.
As the final performances concluded, the anticipation in the hall was palpable. The judges took their time deliberating, and the audience waited with bated breath for the results.
Finally, the top three winners were announced.
Third Place: Grade 11F
Second Place: Grade 9A
First Place: AS1, who claimed the coveted trophy

“I knew we were going to win, and it was a brilliant feeling that I wish every class could experience,” she shared, reflecting on the joy and pride that the victory brought to her and her classmates.
The competition concluded on a high note, with a sense of joy and camaraderie filling the air. It was a day that showcased not only the incredible vocal talents of the students but also the sense of community and school pride that Mweshipandeka fosters. Finally, the event was a reminder of the power of music to bring people together and create lasting memories.
