SINGout4JUSTICE 2025
Celebrating the Voices for Hope in 2025!
The SINGout4JUSTICE competition, which invited students across Aotearoa New Zealand to "Be the Voice for Hope,” has officially closed, and we’re thrilled to announce the winners, finalists, and other standout entries!
From Year 1 to Year 13, students from Catholic schools showcased their incredible musical gifts by composing original songs or performing heartfelt covers. Their entries moved and inspired us with powerful messages of peace, hope, and justice.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the winners for their outstanding contributions to this important kaupapa.
And to all who took part - thank you.
Your voices have truly made a difference!
