Thursday, 1 October 2015 saw school celebrate its ‘Start Your Arts Award’ Day in style with a special celebratory lunchtime drop-in session with fun activities.

Students were able to enjoy refreshments and collect an ‘Arts Takeaway’ bag, full of information, ideas, pencil crayons and a notebook to gather their creative thoughts.

Young people were also able to try out theatrical lighting and sound in a demonstration and short workshop led by our theatre technician, Mr Wilcock or participate in a drumming session with Mr Lancaster.

Students tried out a great animation kit to use for making short animated films and took part in a ‘scroll art’ activity where they were asked to consider arts activities they would like to try out.

For more details, about Arts Award or to start your Arts Award qualification, please speak to Mr De Courcey, Ms Williams or a member of the C.E.P.A. Team.
