Many thanks to the students who attended the CEPA Liverpool visit this week. A fantastic day was enjoyed by staff and students alike, as we toured the Liverpool Tate Gallery, the FACT Film and media Centre and attended a Drama Workshop at the Liverpool Everyman Theatre. The group were also treated to a performance of ‘Macbeth’ featuring; Gemma Redgrave and David Morrisey.

Copies of the latest Arts College Newsletter has been issued to students this week. Please ensure that your child gives you the latest copy. Full colour copies can be obtained from our website at www.falingepark.com.

Pupils currently in Year 10 are joining Mr DeCourcey over half term to rehearse their ‘Cyberbullying’ Theatre-in – Education pieces. Pupils are to report to the foyer at 9.30am promptly on Wednesday 1 June. Late pupils will not be admitted. They will rehearse until 12.30pm.

Our six Rochdale reporters will be working with Norman Warwick over half term as they prepare a new set of interviews for their weekly column. Well done to the students for their regular contribution and dedication over the holidays.

We wish Kurtis Tweedale in Year 9 good luck as he performs a short monologue at the ‘Voices of Well Being’ conference that takes place at Richmond Hall on Wednesday 1 June. Kurtis has learnt the ten minute performance which will introduce the theme of ‘young voices’ to a mixed audience. Good luck Kurtis!
