Calrossy students took out both the senior and primary scholarships in speech, with Maddie Hoath and Sophia Hanson impressing the judges.
The school also enjoyed group success in the choral and music sections.
The secondary girls' senior vocal ensemble and choir both won their sections last week.
The vocal ensemble performed Blackbird by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and the choir sang two contrasting pieces with three-part harmonies.
Accompanied by Peter Hardes and conducted by Naomi Turner, the girls were recognised for their ability to sing with rhythmic and pitching accuracy, excellent breath control and blended tones.
There was more eisteddfod success this time with the Calrossy secondary boys' concert band.
Thirty-two boys from years 7 to 9 competed in the novice ensemble 15 years and under and performed two pieces, Happy and The Year of the Dragon.
The adjudicator commented on the boys'excellent portrayal of style and articulation, while performing as an ensemble convincingly. The percussion section was also commended on their range of dynamics.
Calrossy's youngest students also impressed the adjudicators, taking out first place.
The choir performed a beautiful piece, Snowgum, by Louise Pettinger, which featured two-part harmonies by our talented Year 2 students.
The adjudicators were impressed with the diction, breathing, pitching and tone of the choir.
A big congratulations to all staff and students involved in the event, with too many individual awards to mention.
