Creative Arts & DT Celebration Week

As part of Creative Arts week, 4th - 8th July, we had celebrated by showcasing the talents demonstrated by our students in Creative Arts & DT. We featured work in our art rooms and design hub.

Year 11 Photography work was displayed on our TV plasma screens. During Transition Day, Year 6 students created some awesome work linked to Creative Arts.

RPCC’s Got Talent The popular annual talent show returned for yet another showdown on Wednesday 29th June. This time eight students took to the stage in an aim to claim the top spot. Representatives from all years took their turns throughout the evening with ambitions of claiming the majority votes from the audience. The acts included a range of performances including vocal solos, piano and drum kit solos as well contemporary and street dance acts. As a school, we were overwhelmed by the show of support by both students and parents. Over three hundred people turned up to show their support for their favourite acts and they were well rewarded through the standard of performances that were on display. Ultimately though, there could only be one winner and it was by a narrow margin that Cliff from Year 7 claimed the prize with his rendition of ‘Interstellar’ by Hans Zimmer. Well done Cliff! Every year we try to keep the show fresh with new aspects and for the first time this year the host of

the show was a student. Stanley took the role of presenter making this an evening of celebration that was all about the students. A massive thank you goes out to everyone involved in the show, the performers, the host, the back stage crew and the audience. You were all amazing.
