For the fourth year running we are going on our residential trip to Buckfast Abbey in South Devon.
This year’s theme of Journeys, ‘steered’ by Mr Watkin, will take us on a boat trip and steam train. We will reside in the beautiful Benedictine Abbey in Buckfastleigh.
The following courses and activities are available:
• Yr 10 RE Group
• Junior Choir
• Yr 7 and 8 Boys’ Choir
• Song Writing Club
• Creative Instrumental Music
• Music Technology
While we are away we will study and create original songs and instrumental music, and give a concert in the abbey church. This will all be recorded and made into a CD by our Music Technology students. The CD will be available on 8th July at the Boogie Nights concert event at the Wiltshire Music Centre.
Letters are available from the Music Office and RE Departments
