 On Tuesday 6th July, the jazz ensemble, guitar ensemble and choir went to France and Belgium for two days. After our fantastic performance at the Summer Soiree, we went to perform our music to people from other countries. We had to wear our school uniform all day so that they would know where we were from.
The coach trip was long. It took us probably two hours to get to Folkestone. During the trip nearly every student thought we were going to travel by ferry, but as we got to Folkestone we knew we were wrong. It was not a ferry we had to get to go to Calais, but Eurotunnel. This train is no ordinary train; it is built for coaches, trucks and cars only. The journey between Folkestone and Calais was not that long. |

This term, some of our year 10 pupils had been rehearsing each week in preparation for a massive ABBA showcase at the Fairfield Halls on Tuesday 31 March 2009. Five of ABBA’s biggest hits were sung by choirs from seven different Croydon schools accompanied by the Croydon Youth Orchestra. It was a wonderful opportunity for our pupils to experience such a creative and social event. |
