Music back in full swing!

Although live performances have been cancelled this term, we’re delighted that the show has been able to go on, albeit virtually.

The annual Miss Margaret Davis Memorial recital celebrates both the legacy of Miss Davis to music in these schools, and the generosity of all who have helped — in so many ways — to build and support our young musicians. Performers George Roberts, Jiali Lu, and Junias Wong, played double bass, flute, and violin respectively.

Margaret Cookhorn, principal contra-bassoon of CBSO, and the Frith Piano Quartet treated Shells to a wonderful afternoon of music in the Ruddock Performing Arts Centre, playing Schubert’s ‘Trout’ Quintet.

Our first online Performers’ Platform of the year, featured works by Beethoven, Mozart, and Debussy
Peter Campbell-Kelly, CBSO leader and violinist, led and directed a 15-strong string ensemble rehearsal from the Fourths and Fifths
Come rain or shine, nothing stops the music department! Undeterred by the weather, our trumpeters rehearsed outside
The sound of music filled the Ruddock Performing Arts Centre as our Sixths took to the stage for their string orchestra rehearsal
Live instrumental lessons restarted

The great Easter Debate: a sweet, chaotic showdown 

If you were expecting a serious, well-structured debate at this year’s Easter debate, you were in for a surprise. What unfolded was less of a formal argument and more of a theatrical masterpiece – complete with flying chocolate, wild accusations and a speaker who somehow turned it into a human rights campaign for sugar.

Managing all of this in just three weeks was no easy task – there were plenty of ups and downs, but the team’s dedication made it possible. The level of skill, commitment, and passion each person brought to their role made the challenge easier to handle, and seeing everything come together at nationals was a testament to the hard work and resilience of every team member.
