Congratulations to Aisha Bukhari, Arsalan Khan and Monisha Nessa Talab who were the winners of the ‘Design A Set For Aladdin’ Drama Department Competition. Each of the three winners won a certificate and a gift bag of stationery and books. Well done to all entrants and we were impressed with the standard of entries from all years. A new competition will be available for all years shortly and will be posted on our school website.

Drama Club continues to run each week after school in our brand new Drama Studio, G2. The club takes place every Tuesday from 2.45pm until 4pm and is open to all years. We ask that students take off their shoes and socks before entering the new studio to help protect our new semi-sprung floor and to keep the space clean and safe for performance work.
