Instrumental Teachers' Concert
On the evening of Wednesday 29th April, we were delighted to present, for the second year running, a concert organised by our instrumental teachers. This gave opportunities for instrumental and vocal students to play solo or small group pieces, some in preparation for forthcoming music exams. We were treated to music on drums, violin, cello, guitar, oboe, trumpet, trombone (a first for St. Julian's) and voice. The programme was, as usual, extremely varied, with musical repertoire ranging from Bach to the Blackadder theme, Grieg to Green Day, Massenet to Mraz, Telemann to tangos and much more. The school’s new raised seating system was a real bonus for the very appreciative audience who were able to see as well as hear the show!

Examination results, Summer 2008
Public examinations and tests of one kind or another are an inevitable aspect of education. While a good school never allows them to become the be-all and end-all of its mission, they nonetheless have a significant impact on the future lives of students and on the school's sense of its own effectiveness.

Public Speaking from a small point of view...
It's ironic that I was asked to write a ' article for Update about public speaking only a few months after having made an emotional appeal to you all about how unfairly members of the Over 14 Years of Age, Under 5ft Tall' society were treated. But I decided it might be fun writing about something that no-one will read about.
