MUSIC AND PSHE UPDATE<br />
The first term is always really busy for our successful music department. With<br />
clubs, choirs and orchestras running every lunchtime, there is an opportunity for<br />
every student to get involved, no matter their experience or level.<br />
The music department has continued<br />
to develop and grow this year . We<br />
are offering all students the chance to<br />
undertake music lessons in a variety<br />
of instruments, including the Saxophone,<br />
Drums and Violin. The choir<br />
continues to improve and we are<br />
now working very hard on our festive<br />
pieces ready for the variety of concerts<br />
and community performances<br />
we have in November and December.<br />
With 13 events or concerts in the<br />
next 7 weeks, we are very busy!! This<br />
includes singing at local Primary and<br />
special needs schools, Tesco in Purley<br />
and the St. Nicholas centre, Sutton.<br />
We have had two Epilogues so far<br />
this term and we have been recording<br />
these with the view to share them<br />
in the future with those who wish to<br />
download. Our next Epilogue is being<br />
held at St. Marks (around the corner)<br />
on Thursday 23rd November at 4pm.<br />
The staff choir practice every thursday<br />
morning and have attracted<br />
some new talent...you will need to<br />
come and see them to find out who!<br />
We look forward to seeing you at one<br />
of our events.<br />

(Head of Music)<br />
On Saturday 7th September, all Year 7 students<br />
were invited to trial a whole range of musical instruments<br />
after their rugby training session. As<br />
you can see, many of our students took up the<br />
opportunity and are now taking lessons in a variety<br />
of instruments.<br />
This event saw over 120 Year 7 parents and carers<br />
attend a PSHE morning to help improve the<br />
transition of their son to John Fisher. The teachers<br />
ran sessions on mental health, literacy and<br />
numeracy, and had Year 8 parents giving advice.<br />
