School Production - Trojan Women

It was with slight trepidation that the cast, comprising Year 9, 10 and 11 pupils, approached Euripides’ epic ‘The Trojan Women’. It is fair to say that the first few rehearsals contained much scratching of heads, raising of eyebrows and more than the occasional mispronunciation. However, putting aside the initial feelings of wariness, the cast rose to the occasion with real aplomb as, for one week, the Springfield drama studio was transformed into a busy Trojan beach, sitting on the doorstep of a ransacked Troy.

Help for Heroes Charity

In October Year 10 pupils (pictured below) worked as an enterprise team creating and running a major charity meal at the Royal Marines Restaurant. A cheque for over £1,100 was presented to the “Help for Heroes” representative, Mr Burns. Thanks to the invaluable support of the catering staff at the restaurant and Sainsbury’s Farlington, nearly forty guests were treated to an excellent evening led by the Year 10 “Seabreeze” team. Well done to all.
