8th version Interschools English Song Festival
On October 11, the Osorno College opened its doors to the community for one more version of the Interschools English Song Festival, which is organized by the English Department, together with the Arts and Technology Department. This year, in its 8th version, the Interschools English Song Festival was proud to count with 14 talented singers both from Osorno and different cities in the country. This event was born with the objective of increasing the participation of students in activities that promote the use and appreciation of the English language, as well as to create links between the participating schools. Throughout the years, it has become one of the most expected activities for our school and others, and we have always had a great level of enthusiasm and commitment from all those involved.
The following were the schools participating this year and their singers:
