As part of their Silver Arts Award, some of our Year 9 students are putting on a evening of photography, interior design and music. The event is running on  Tuesday 21st June at 6.30pm  in the Sixth Form Centre. The evening will begin with an opportunity to have look around some of the students’ work, as well as getting to know the students and their passions.  There will be a display of Arts Award portfolios from both last year and this year at Bronze and Silver levels.  This will be followed by a short musical recital by students from Years 7-9.  Entrance is free, but there will be a collection which the students would like to be for future Arts Award students who are not able to afford their moderation fee. We hope to see you there!

This was represented well in the musical. I disliked the fact that the orchestra was playing slightly too loud, drowning out weaker voices of some of the supporting cast.

Hi guys, Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to run Male Voice Choir this half term. You've all worked really hard this term, and performed in three fantastic concerts - so well done all of you. This means MVC won't be performing in the Summer Concert, which is a shame. If you want to sing in the Summer Concert, you just need to join choir, which runs on a Friday lunchtime. We will start again in the Autumn term, with an all-new, exciting ensemble. Thanks guys, Mr Guinane
