The judges have declared it … Mill Park Secondary College is the “koolest” school in the state.
At the 19th annual Kool Skool awards, held in Ringwood earlier this month, Mill Park took out the top award when it was named the Koolest Skool of 2015 for a music album written and produced by its students.
The competition, open to every secondary school in Victoria, is aimed at developing students’ songwriting skills and giving them an outlet to express their creativity.
It’s the 11th year the Mill Park school has been involved, and this time it raked in a slew of awards and nominations.
Music teacher Wendy Nagel said students were nominated for ‘best ballad’ and ‘best female voice’, among other categories, and took out the awards for ‘special judges’ award for a band and for a singer-songwriter’, ‘best duet’, ‘best EDM track’ and ‘best R&B’.
Ms Nagel said the students worked tirelessly in preparing for the event.
“We spent two long days in Studio 52 recording our CD, and we had the graphic arts students involved in the photography, layout and artwork for the CD cover.”
