Cobham music wing named for HayleyBy IAN STEWARD - The Press Tuesday, 24 April 2007
Cobham Intermediate's most famous "treasure" returned to the Christchurch school yesterday to open a new hall and a music wing named after her.
Classical singer Hayley Westenra took time out of her busy international touring schedule to open the $1.2 million complex, which features a gymnasium, stage, and music rooms with specialty music computers.
Westenra said having a wing named after her made her "suddenly feel very old".
She has recently turned 20.
