Congratulations to Year 11 student Isla Whinnen-Jensen, who was selected as a finalist in the Play It Strange Peace Song Competition with her original song, Wisdom.

Recorded at school during lunchtime, Wisdom is a powerful song about self-acceptance, finding confidence within, and learning not to rely on others for your sense of worth. With her honest lyrics and songwriting, Isla explores the idea of trusting your own values and discovering the strength to be yourself.

As a finalist, Isla won a professional recording package, and Wisdom will be featured on the upcoming Play It Strange Spotify album. This is a fantastic achievement and a testament to Isla's talent as a songwriter and recording artist.

Well done, Isla!
