Monday 8 December 2025 'Tis the season - a huge festive thank you. I just wanted to take a minute to write a say huge thank you and well done for our Christmas show last week. With 85 students on the stage and 20 back stage, this was not only a monumental undertaking but also a fantastic celebration of the creative arts here at the College. I was absolutely blown away by the talent and dedication of our young people. Thank you to everyone who made it happen.
