St Ignatius Got Talent 2026

St Ignatius Got Talent 

On Tuesday the 22nd of September, St Ignatius was treated to an incredible showcase of talent at our annual St Ignatius Got Talent competition. The evening celebrated the diverse range of talents within our ākonga, with performances spanning solo singing, piano, duets, hip hop, K-pop, contemporary dance and rock bands.

Our talented performers took to the stage with confidence, enthusiasm and an impressive level of skill. From powerful vocal performances and talented musicians to high-energy dance routines and fantastic bands, there was something for everyone to enjoy. The standard of performances was truly outstanding, making for a very difficult decision for our judging panel.

We were incredibly fortunate to have three talented industry professionals judging this year's competition: award-winning musician Paige, dancer Shelbie Wilson, and actor and performer Rick Turner. All three judges were highly impressed by the talent on display and commented on just how challenging it was to select the winners, with so many standout performances throughout the evening.

A huge congratulations to all of our ākonga who stepped out onto the stage and performed. 

Congratulations to our winners!
