2015 Cultural Awards Evening
On Thursday evening the second of our awards evenings took place, with the 2015 Cultural Awards staged, as our production was this year, in the School Hall. This is always an opportunity to see some of our incredibly talented musicians, actors and speakers in action, and we were treated to all of that and more. The evening was co-hosted by our Director of Culture, Mr James Sutherland, and Captain of Arts Morgan Hopkins. Morgan also took out the supreme award of the evening, the Cultural Performer of the Year, thanks to his efforts in our school production "Jesus Christ Superstar" and at the Globe Theatre in London. The full list of award winners and nominees follows, and we thank all of these students for their most talented contributions and hard work for our school.
