When the Pietermaritzburg Children's Choir visited Riga, Latvia in July there were amongst them three songbirds from Laddsworth Primary School's choir: Anja Dippenaar, Airen de la Mare and Tiana Nzimande. The choir sang in the 2014 World Choir Games which is the equivalent of the Olympics for choirs. 420 choirs from 52 countries competed and South Africa won the event.
These Laddsworth girls earned three Silver diploma's each, a jubilant result in a competition which included adult choirs. The girl's most memorable highlight from their trip was singing with the Kearsney College Choir outside McDonalds in Riga.
Kayleigh Szente, a Laddsworth old girl now in Grade 8 at Howick High also participated in the event.
