Nice to know

And Then There Were None 

Congratulations to all involved in the College Play "And Then There Were None".  It is great to see the Performing Arts back at St Helena!  Incredibly mature and professional performances kept the audience guessing "who dunnit?" for the whole night, and all shows finished to thunderous applause.   Well done to all involved!  

As we put "And Then There Were None" to bed, rehearsals for "Rock of Ages" have started!  The  "Rock of Ages" season will run in August.

Automotive Students Drive into the 2020s

Congratulations and thank you to Automotive teacher Stewart Kneeshaw.  Mr Kneeshaw has been wheeling and dealing with Honda over the past couple of years, and finally secured the donation of a brand new Honda Jazz for our Automotive students to work on!  This model is a pre-production model, and cannot go on the road, but in every other way it is a brand new working car.  And it's red -so it's a fast one!!
