Shakespearian wisdom brought to life! Our Year 7 actors deliver some classics of the famous bard with gusto, fusing memorising skills and oracy. We applaud the confidence with which the boys delivered their lines and say a big Thank You to Ms Doorly for preparing our young thespians so wonderfully.

On the menu of the first edition were Swiss rosti potatoes with avocado and sour cream, followed by banana muffins for dessert. Needless to say that the food went down a treat, as did the hints from tips from chef Arti. A big thank you to her for the upbeat and warm delivery. 2/2
