The school's choir also picked up a first place when they sang Wild Mountainside and Firefly. In the primary school choir conducted by a student section, Tom Cooper conducted the group in their rendition of Away From the Roll of the Sea to place second.
In the juvenile choir section, the years 3 and 4 group also finished second.
There were also several other first place performances for the school throughout the music and choir section, with staff impressed by the students' talent and hard work in the lead up.
Assistant principal Catherine Tabain was proud of the students.
"The staff at Leeton Public School recognise the value of a strong creative arts program within the school," she said.
"Another very obvious benefit has been witnessing the pure enjoyment obtained by performing to an audience and the increased confidence."
