MUSIC AND CULTURAL<br />
ACTIVITIES<br />
Music and cultural activities including Drama<br />
and Production form an important part of<br />
life at <strong>St</strong> Paul’s. The <strong>School</strong> has an established<br />
Drama Department. Itinerant teachers offer<br />
lessons on all instruments, and every Year 9<br />
student has a weekly lesson on an instrument<br />
of his choice.<br />
There is also an opportunity to extend and<br />
develop musical skills by joining a number of<br />
excellent groups including the chapel choir,<br />
orchestra, and band. The various chamber<br />
groups and rock bands that also exist in the<br />
<strong>School</strong> have enjoyed considerable success in<br />
competitions in recent years.<br />
It is vital that students, especially senior students,<br />
do not over commit themselves. However we<br />
encourage students to be involved in at least<br />
one cultural activity per year.<br />
Monday and Wednesday are set aside as<br />
cultural days. <strong>School</strong> Production, Choir or <strong>St</strong>age<br />
Challenge, for example, take priority over sport<br />
practices on these days.<br />
