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 />
